Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's attack on ICE-spotting apps.

Send Apple feedback. They need to hear how unpopular working with Trump will make them.

    Well, both, really.

    Make sure they know you won’t be buying their process anymore because of these policies.

    I don’t think he’s projecting on you personally, Apple has a $3.76T market cap. If people really were upset that number would go down

    Correct.

    One guy standing tall is cute and all but that'd not how systematic change happens. Need like 10-15% of people to get in the fight to send a proper message

    I tried pine phone, but it wasn't usable as a daily driver.

    A random second hand smartphone, with a custom Android rom and no Google crap on it.

    Also I'm constantly behind a VPN, just in case they can still get some useful data from me.

    I consider that WAY better than buying a shitty iPhone

    I guess can see how buying items second hand and flashing a ROM is not quite the same as buying a brand new phone running Android, but it seems unfair to then besmirch all iPhone users.

    Did I really say anything about iPhone users? I suggested to boycott Apple and I stated that I don't use their products.

    Then someone accused me of being an hypocrite, out of literally nowhere.

    Not OP but GrapheneOS on a Pixel probably works quite well. Got independent app stores such as FDroid etc.

    If you are still using an apple phone in times like these then you are not taking your life serious enough. Big techs power will absolutely fuck things up in the coming series of purges in the US and people are totally unprepared for it.

    How does one prepare for it without sitting around being a bored luddite all day? Idk how to tell you this, but the rot is total, and Americans simply aren't willing to meet the moment

    Can you not have fun without big tech platforms? There is so much stuff out there to do. So many hobbies both digital and physical to entertain yourself with.

    For tech things there is the open source nerds that continue to make it possible to remove the influence of our tech overlords from our lives while still making use of the hardware we already have.

    For climate change there are local groups in many cities (at least in Germany) with the specific idea of creating future proof communities that will survive supply chain collapse for food, water, electricity, etc.

    Yes, but also make it clear why you are leaving. And as dirty as it feels, don't tell them their actions are irredeemable and they've lost you for life.

    If you tell them you'll never come back no matter what, then they no longer have to care about your opinion. You're essentially telling them that they should start catering more-heavily to the fascists now that the only potential customers don't mind them bending the knee.

    How much "feedback" do you think it will take to make them contradict the vindictive sitting President? Apple doesn't care about what you think about this because it's not for you.

    You know what you can do? Stop giving them money. Write them an email from your iCloud account, then delete said account. Cancel any subscriptions (this seemed to be effective against Disney).

    The fed gov holds too much power. You have to show them that Americans, collectively, have more power to affect their bottom line than the Pres, and (most importantly) are willing to exercise it.

    They're based in the USA, they have to work with the government or they'll be targeted/taken over/shut down, surely?

    They could try to escape the USA and move all their operations to Europe, but I think they're just going to stick where they are and do whatever the fascists want them to do. So long as they're getting paid why should they care?
