Is this the same platform that wasn't open source, and also only on the iOS app store?
E: Actually, it looks like this might be different. Still very careless to have exposed peoples names, phone numbers and GPS locations, why was that information even required?
E2: Thinking about this, what are the requirements really? A group chat already provides a host of useful functions (as illustrated by MN organizers). The one thing you would want that a chat app can't provide is plate tracking. One could imagine a federated plate tracking database being built with activity pub being useful but probably technical overkill.
I know ACLU has some app for recording, I wonder what they require in comparison to this ICE app.
From what I gather the idea is you take photos of number plates of ice cars and upload them with your current location.
But I didn't really want to click around on the website because idk if it's still owned and even the archived version redirects to the live website for some reason.
