Why Liberals Want This Apple App Back?
Liberals have used the tech industry to censor conservative voices for years but now they are playing a different hand with Apple in a change-of-rules antic to save as many illegal aliens from arrest and deportation by the Trump administration as they can.
On December 13, a few dozen leftist protesters marched in downtown Portland (OR) to demand that Apple restore ICEBlock, an app that liberals used to alert people about the presence of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in their area. This would help illegals in the area hide or flee ahead of and during an ICE raid. ICEBlock had over a million users before Apple obeyed the Department of Justice (DOJ) directive in October to suspend the app as it could potentially endanger the safety of the federal agents in an area.
This move by Apple proved hurtful to the left’s anti-law enforcement agenda, and hence their demand for the restoration of the app. The Oregonian (December 14) described the downtown Portland protest as:
More than 30 protestors flew signs and sang satirical carols within view of security, employees and holiday shoppers just off the steps of the glassy Apple store at 450 S.W. Yamhill St.
Trying to make their call for restoring ICEBlock in the Apple Store an American issue, the leftists have decided to stamp the free speech slogan over their effort. Joshua Aaron, the developer of ICEBlock app, sued the Trump administration earlier this month on the allegation of violating people’s free speech rights. The lawsuit specifically accused the DOJ of violating the First Amendment and has asked a federal judge to offer legal protection against intimidation by Trump’s officials in the Homeland Security and Justice Department.
How many on the right, if any, will buy this free speech pretext of the liberals who cheered at conservatives and libertarians getting kicked out and blocked on X in the COVID years? Even the Republican President of the country Donald Trump was banned on Twitter under the site’s leftist management. But liberals fled the social media platform en masse once Elon Musk purchased it and made it a free-speech site.
With Apple, liberals had already started a breakup earlier this year when the tech giant’s CEO Tim Cook made a $1 million donation to the new Trump administration’s inaugural fund. Following this supposedly appeasement money, Apple also resumed advertising on Twitter (X). Macworld resented it and wrote (February 18):
It’s little wonder that people are upset with Apple. The company has clearly decided to buy itself access, no matter what the cost to its reputation and, yeah, gonna say it, the rest of us. You picked a really bad time to start being political, Apple. And we see you.
Ernest ” left’s anti-law enforcement agenda” your joking right…your boy is a 34 time convicted felon and would have been convicted of even more crimes if it weren’t for The Supremely Corrupt Court that was stacked by the Supremely Corrupt Mitch Boy and criminal Don the Con America.
BTW
“Attorney General Pam Bondi did confirm that she requested that Apple remove this app”
She didn’t request…she threatened !!!
Joe you’re about as stupid as Dunger. By the way, the felony charges against the great president Trump will be tossed before spring. And then you can apologize and stfu.
Willieatsdung: Joe is his own man, as am I. You love Trump and are blind to his felonious faults. As to his felonies being tossed, hey, if that’s how you want to spend your money, and you are paying for it, otherwise the cheapie Trump would give up. All that will prove is Roy Cohn is right and time and money will win all cases.
I gotta ask you since you are such a legal beagle, and a Trump afficionado, what do you think of Trump pardoning felons who beat and injured over 140 police. Is that how you support law and odor?
In reality, he will have to spend you money all the way to the SCOTUS, now renamed the TUCHUS (Trump Unified Court Hard-right of the United States). He cannot pardon himself for crimes against the State. He is begging to move the case to Federal, and there is a possibility he will: it will take years and he is old and not in good health. He nods off a lot, has green hands and bloated ankles. He gets frequent MRIs and cognitive tests. To get to Federal court, he must convince yet another Federal judge. He has been denied many times before. His State appeal on sentencing was denied. The Federal Court Court session is set for June 11th 2026 which means you are:
BUSTED
my Christmas gift to you!
It’s all good. Sorry Dunger. But the SCOTUS has not ruled yet. But he’s president and kumbreath Harris isn’t. And you referred to the Jan 6 patriots. Let’s talk about leftist thugs attacking ICE agents. Are they patriots or thugs attacking them. You’re such a two faced asshole you don’t know how to answer that question. Three more years and America will be a much better place. So go join Rosie and Ellen and the rest of your communist friends and get out while you can.
Willieatsdung: Dude, you said Spring, first case is June 2026, and that’s before TUCHUS could even hear the case. It’s in NYS court where it’s been denied, denied. And in the lower Federal Courts where the next session, as I said before but you are too brain dead to see, is June 11th, 2026, certainly not Spring.
Among your many mental challenges, add calendar.
You are too wimpy and afraid to answer a simple 1/6/2021 pardon question. What a wimp.
Willieisdung says: “You’re such a two faced asshole you don’t know how to answer that question.” Uh, you just asked it, just now. Mentally challenged for time and calendar. So sorry for your retardation.
You still need to prove a Danger lie, and you say you have a lot. What a simp.
And now you want to arrange a hook up with two girls I do not know. What a pimp.
So, wimp, simp, and pimp
BUSTED twice for one factoid. Wow, congrats, a record. No one has ever faced a BUSTED and said: nah.
I can’t imagine the day you actually come at me with some facts, until then, merry christmas lightweight.
Bring back the app, advertise widely where ice will be,…….and then be somewhere else. That’s just strategy and outsmarting liberals is pretty easy to do, not only that but having the media there to document the whole fiasco of a bunch of sanctimonious, self righteous, lazy, nonworking idiots would be not only funny but would allow ICE to do its job without their interference.
