    Making this app closed source and iOS only is a huge red flag that it’s potentially a honeypot.

      If they release the source code then ICE would know how he’s tracking them, no?

        How they’re being tracked is not a secret. It’s through user-submitted reports.

        It looks like someone did, but they’re much less explicit about its usecase:
