I wish we could use a “regular” app like Waze and start reporting “icy weather” as code for ICE. I mean we can, but idk how to make it a thing. Kinda how they were using “winter boots” as code on TikTok for ICE to get around the censors.

Was this ever even available to non-US accounts? Was there ever an explanation for why it was georestricted?

This sucks, and they shouldn’t have to do this, but could they make it a webapp?

Did you mean "web site"? Because, according to Cory Doktorov an app is just a website wrapped into enough IP to make it a felony blocking ads in it.
