I’m gonna play devils advocate here (and probably be monstrously downvoted);

ICEBlock stored the location data of all its users on Apples iCloud Servers. This the perfect target for ICE; a complete database of locations of every person who doesn’t want ICE to know where they are.

One assumption is that that Apple realised how tempting this data is to the current demonstrative administration and purged it before ICE could get their civil-liberty-abusing mitts on it.

Something worth noting, if you are using iCloud, advanced data protection is your friend. Apple doesn’t have the encryption keys, you do.

This is not on by default.

Advanced Data Protection does require all iCloud Ecosystem devices to be current.

Not every person can afford the latest and greatest.

Current or on a current OS?

It requires iOS 16 and MacOS 13.

The devices that max out at those operating systems are 9 and 10 year old.
