StopICE, the anti-ICE activist platform, suffered a major security breach exposing names, logins, phone numbers and GPS locations of over 100,000 users to US federal agencies.

Is this the same platform that wasn't open source, and also only on the iOS app store?

E: Actually, it looks like this might be different. Still very careless to have exposed peoples names, phone numbers and GPS locations, why was that information even required?

E2: Thinking about this, what are the requirements really? A group chat already provides a host of useful functions (as illustrated by MN organizers). The one thing you would want that a chat app can't provide is plate tracking. One could imagine a federated plate tracking database being built with activity pub being useful but probably technical overkill.

I know ACLU has some app for recording, I wonder what they require in comparison to this ICE app.

From what I gather the idea is you take photos of number plates of ice cars and upload them with your current location.

But I didn't really want to click around on the website because idk if it's still owned and even the archived version redirects to the live website for some reason.
