ICEBlock App Developer Sues Government

Josh Aaron created the ICEBlock application so that communities could track ICE agents. AG Bondi put pressure on Apple and Google to remove all ICE tracking apps from their app stores and they complied with the request. Joshua has filed a lawsuit that claims "Attorney General Bondi made plain that the United States government used its regulatory power to coerce a private platform to suppress First Amendment-protected expression."

Apple has previously removed apps at the request of oppressive governments around the world, but this is the first time they've taken down apps at the request of the USA. We really need these tracking apps and websites. This Complaint is pretty thorough (except it's missing the addresses of the parties and will have to be refiled). I hope Joshua Aaron wins this one! ✊

Here is the 39-page Complaint.
