    She said that there’s been a 500 percent increase against ICE agents who are just “trying to do their jobs and remove public safety threats from… communities.”

    Exactly what the Nazis who ran extermination camps claimed.

      I loathe and despise using percentages like this.

      500% sounds super scary, but is meaningless without providing the baseline. If there was only one instance before and now there’s 5 it isn’t a significant increase but 500% sure sounds scary.

      Glad others have pointed this out. Their “reasons” for not supporting 70% of worldwide smartphones via Android seemed very suspect.

      At the very least I hope it’s hosted by someone outside the US so it’s out of reach to the authorities.

          That’s always worth considering. A phone app doesn’t take a big operating budget to launch and maintain. Especially for state-actors.

          This is a genuine concern that we should recognize.

          I’m about 99% confident it isn’t, but considering it is the kind of caution we should all be exercising these days.
