Report: Gestapo ICE facial recognition reporting app removed from
Google Play Store -- Maybe
My information on this is sketchy. Apparently this horrific Nazi app to
use facial recognition to "find and report" immigrants to Adolf Trump's
Gestapo ICE squads was removed from the Google Play Store. It's not
clear why or for how long. I'm told there have been internal protests at
Google regarding this app.
I'll emphasize again that by and large, Googlers (Google employees) are
great. Google's embrace of fascism is being driven from the top, from
Trump loving billionaire CEO Sundar. As the old saying goes, the fish
rots from the head.
