🚨Um... New app. Turn someone in, innocent or not, get bitcoin.

I won't link.

"ICERAID is a GovFi protocol that delegates intelligence gathering and validation tasks to citizens that would otherwise be undertaken by law enforcement agencies. ICERAID rewards citizens for capturing, uploading and validating photographic evidence of 8 categories of suspected criminal activity. The more images and locations you upload and validate, the more ICERAID you earn."

h/t @spocko for the grab

@GottaLaff @spocko Stalinism meets fascism. Jesus fucking christ.
@GottaLaff @spocko This feels like something that would benefit from automated processes generating photographic "evidence" and submitting that evidence in vast quantities....
@pooserville @GottaLaff @spocko

At last: a good use for generative AI!
@GottaLaff @spocko
I will upload and validate photos of Trumpees I know who ride the sovereign citizen path and have no access to citizenship documentation by their own choice. I wonder what will happen.
@GottaLaff @spocko This is something that Putin has dreamed of but didn’t have the infrastructure.
@GottaLaff
Holy shit.
I'm protesting in San Diego tomorrow with my daughter in law and an old nursing buddy.
I've written every one of my representatives, signed petitions, donated money I don't have to races outside of my state. Not sure if any of this will make a difference, but doing nothing in not an option.

@GottaLaff @spocko

oh look blockleiters now have online access

@GottaLaff @spocko Seems like a good time for an organized push to crash the app while reporting Leon and Melina.
@GottaLaff @spocko

So, another snitch-portal to swamp.

And, given other recently introduced sites' laughable security, portals that can probably be cracked and snitches doxed.
@GottaLaff @spocko Is abduction by unidentified masked villians one of the categories?
@GottaLaff @spocko Sounds like the opportunity for paparazzi to surveil Mar-a-Lago and other Trump properties. We know there will be undocumented workers there.
@GottaLaff @spocko soo.... if one were to use this as an occasion for a DDoS attack, what would be the best technique? Asking for a friend.

@GottaLaff @spocko I wonder if their acronym is “SSSS” - Self Service SchutzStaffel.”

@GottaLaff @spocko

My only image upload, if I had any of the required shitty crypto infrastructure would be this one:

Thanks @GottaLaff

I was thinking, for the MSM to write about this, they'll need an equivalent app from the Left for a "Both Sides Do it" story.
Then the RW Media will scream how they're being targeted & it's illegal.

Do we have one? I'll bet @emptywheel knows & what we have that's legal, to identify lawbreakers on the right, report them & get rewarded.(Qui tam cases)

I see this app as a surveillance gathering tool first, pushing a "deport the illegals!" 2nd.
@lolgop

@spocko
The unofficial researchers that analyzed all the publicly visible data from J6 and identified a bunch of people comes to mind. Even the FBI thought their work was solid.

They didn't get paid either.

Which means their app's purpose is so unpopular they have to pay people.

@GottaLaff @emptywheel @lolgop

@GottaLaff @spocko you know who also paid money to snitching SOB’s….
@GottaLaff @spocko Basically deputizing civilians. What could go wrong?!
@GottaLaff @spocko
Can we all claim a musk identification?
@GottaLaff @spocko The fuck? Lmfao goodby America, was nice knowing you.

@GottaLaff @spocko

I'm confused — this looks great to me…

From the screenshot it looks like they're already monitoring Gaetz's and Loomer's shows, and InfoWars. If we just point them at C-SPAN as well the public won't really have any work to do at all.

Or did I misunderstand?

@mmalc They're offering bitcoins to people who turn others in. @spocko

@GottaLaff @spocko

Sorry, I think I should have added “/s”

I do understand the program, but from the screen shot it looks like there’ll be monitoring all the right-wing criminals’ channels. They can watch the rest of them on C-SPAN

@GottaLaff @spocko apparently, the app preserves EXIF data on the photos.

Also, it wants folks to think it's a government site, but it is not. Just in case it's not clearly stated in other posts going around.

@tinkb333 Thank you.
I went to the site to take screen shots. I KNOW that even if I had turned off almost everything & used a VPN, they could gather data about me.
That's why I won't DL the app OR submit "joke" photos of Musk. They still gather data.

@GottaLaff

@spocko @tinkb333 @GottaLaff
Think what fun we could have if we used the computer or phone of one MAGA to rat out another MAGA.
@tinkb333 @GottaLaff @spocko “is not political” yes, nothing at all political about a random group of people rewarding citizens to call the Gestapo on their BIPOC neighbors existing. Nothing at all.

@tinkb333 I see what @autolycos suggested, not everyone is that savvy.
At leastI know how to turn off metadata when I export stuff.

I went to #FaceBook for this screen shot. I didn't like anything, but still my feed & my friends' feed might start getting ads like:

"Make Money with CRYPTO!
Sell out your friends!"
Sorry @GottaLaff

@GottaLaff @spocko arresting Matt Gaetz and Alex Jones actually would contribute to making America safe, both continents and also the rest of the world

@GottaLaff @spocko

I know a South Africa citizen who illegally entered the US on a fraudulent student visa.

I also know a Slovenian model who illegally worked while on a tourist visa. I also suspect her "Einstein visa" was corruptly obtained.

Would these be reportable items?

@TCatInReality @GottaLaff @spocko Okay... while I agree, Grammar Nazi here: "I know OF" - cos pretty sure you don't KNOW Elon or Nazi Barbie... 😂
@jgobble (pedantic copy editor chiming in) Grammar Nazi? Because proofreading is just like invading Poland? Huh. @TCatInReality @GottaLaff @spocko

@TCatInReality @GottaLaff @spocko

So if the illegal model was knocked up by, like a foreign politician and not her USA husband, does the love child still get US Citizenship?

@djg @GottaLaff @spocko

If born in the US, yes.

At least until the #CorruptSCOTUS allows him to ignore that part of the Constitution too.

@TCatInReality @GottaLaff @spocko They would, but the inmates are running the asylum now. We need to restore democracy. We. That’s us.

@GottaLaff @spocko

imma report elon and melania

@samiamsam Nah, if we report them, we use their frame.

This is about finding & ratting out people who MAY or MAY NOT be here illegally.

They WANT to gather a list so they can hold it & shake it at hearings like McCarthy.

"I hold in my hand a list of XX "illegal aliens in the US."

They won't show us the list, since it's filled with false reports.

The existence of a LIST with ANY number acts as an "anchor" number that the left would have to dispute, vs the right verifying it. @GottaLaff

@GottaLaff The scariest goddamn thing I've ever seen.
@GottaLaff @spocko Are they planning on integrating it with Pokemon Go now the Saudis have acquired it?

@indieterminacy I don't know, but asking about Pokemon! It lets me post this FAKED photo of Pikachu at a protest!
Updated details in photos of
" The original video with Pikachu in Turkey was captured by Ismail Koçeroğlu, a photojournalist at Akdeniz University in Antalya."

Thank you @MichaelTBacon for both pointing it out and linking to the story by @404mediaco for details https://www.404media.co/pikachu-spotted-fleeing-police-crackdowns-during-turkey-protests/

I wonder if #Pikachu will be at my protest today? #HANDSOFF @GottaLaff

Pikachu Spotted Fleeing Police Crackdowns During Turkey Protests

As a real video of someone in a Pikachu suit at a protest goes viral, an AI-generated “photo” is fooling a lot of people.

@spocko @indieterminacy @GottaLaff

That image is unfortunately an AI fake.

There was a real image of Pikachu at a protest and this one has gained traction riding on that one but because it's a more dramatic photo.

Uhh, is anybody trying to trace any payments made as a result of this app?

I mean, the "nice" thing about this is that in most cryptocurrencies, all transactions are public, it's just that you don't necessarily have direct knowledge of the real-world identities involved in a transaction.

Perhaps we should enlist the #kpopstan to bog down the app with videos again.
