A few enterprising hackers have started projects to do counter surveillance against ICE, and hopefully protect their communities through clever use of technology.

    Deflock.me is absolutely depressing to see the amount of surveillance present.

    Would be great to have a navigation app that could map routes that avoid or minimize the number of surveillance points.

    Currently I just try to be diligent about marking any police or ice activity in waze but a FOSS option would be great.

      We already have the openmaps project. Perhaps someone could make a CoMaps plugin or add-on? Might be neat.

      This man is a gift to all in these times.

      Spread his word.

      Learn his craft.

      Build those tools.

      Sorry, it’s off topic, but how do I subscribe to this guy from the instance I’ve signed up with? I searched his channel but nothing showed up. So that does that mean I’m SooL because my instance isn’t federated with his?

        I went here: https://peertube.gravitywell.xyz/c/benjordan/videos

        Then I clicked the subscribe button.

        Then I entered the url to my peertube account.

        Then it opened the peertube app to my account and I had to hit subscribe again.

        Not painless but not bad for being federated.

          I’m such an idiot, I thought that remote subscribe was where I put in my email address lol. I got peertube to open my instance, but it said it couldn’t access the remote source. but !rollin@piefed.social 's plugin worked so I’ll go with that for now. Thanks!

            All good. It’s a bit odd.

    TL;DR From the article:

    But a few enterprising hackers have started projects to do counter surveillance against ICE, and hopefully protect their communities through clever use of technology.

    Further on the article goes in dept in what ways the ICE is monitoring communities and possible ways to counteract it.

        I agree, that’s why I added the last part. Still very brief, but it does the job.
