    Why can’t this be a web app that uses web notifications? Why does it even need to be an on-device app? That’s building in a vulnerability that doesn’t need to be there.

    Make it a site. Go to the site. Pin the site. Allow notifications from site. Done.

    Yes, Apple and Google are in the wrong, but why are we relying on them for this at all? Not everything needs to be a fucking app.

          This isn’t a tech illiteracy issue. Sure you CAN take a video, and upload it to archive.org from your phone.

          Try doing that while actively being abused by ICE.

          It’s about making the process as foolproof as possible, because seconds matter here, and making sure that footage is backed up as quickly as possible is paramount.
