An activism app storing your government name, location and phone number sounds like an op.

Austin previously gained notoriety for his involvement in online activism and his prosecution under 18 U.S.C. § 842(p), a federal law against distributing explosive information with the intent to commit violent crime.

Known fedposter.

One of the app's key organisers, Sherman Austin, allegedly failed to inform users of the breach despite having the opportunity to do so.

They have to be, there is no way a serious "resistance" element would allow this, breaches can happen but hiding it says everything

No one has actually seen them, on account of what they're covered with.
