#Apple #Banned an App That Simply #Archived Videos of #ICE #Abuses

Apple removed an app for preserving #TikToks , #Instagram reels, news reports, and #videos documenting abuses by ICE, 404 Media has learned. The app, called #EyesUp , differs from other banned apps such as #ICEBlock which were designed to report sightings of ICE officials in real-time to warn local communities.

Apple Bans “Eyes Up” A Video Archival App For Perserving Video of ICE Actions

Apple is at it again as it works hard to keep in the evil regime’s favor, banning yet another app. The latest target, Eyes Up is “dedicated to preserving video evidence of ICE abuses until it can be used in court.”

According to the report from 404 Media, the developers of Eyes Up state that unlock ICEBlock, an app Apple banned last week that allows uses to track ICE actions, Eyes Up does not do real-time tracking of ICE Actions.

The Eyes Up website is still up and can be used for the same video archiving purposes with content uploaded from TikTok, Instagram or X and include “a mix of professional media reports and user-generated clips of ICE arrests.”

Apple’s cowardly capitulations and its own plenary actions here are bad enough. As wrong as they are, they seem beyond odd, given that ICE itself has camera crews filming their actions and creating content about their actions to broadcast as it seems fit in its own promotional videos. Talk about a disconnect.
