<p>"Apple removed an app for preserving TikToks, Instagram reels, news reports, and videos documenting abuses by ICE, 404 Media has learned. The app, called Eyes Up, differs from other banned apps such as ICEBlock which were designed to report sightings of ICE officials in real-time to warn local communities. Eyes Up, meanwhile, was more of an aggregation service pooling together information to preserve evidence in case the material is needed in the future in court.</p><p>The news shows that Apple and Google’s crackdown on ICE-spotting apps, which started after pressure from the Department of Justice against Apple, is broader in scope than apps that report sightings of ICE officials. It has also impacted at least one app that was more about creating a historical record of ICE’s activity during its mass deportation effort."</p><p><a href="/tags/usa/" rel="tag">#USA</a> <a href="/tags/trump/" rel="tag">#Trump</a> <a href="/tags/ice/" rel="tag">#iCE</a> <a href="/tags/immigration/" rel="tag">#Immigration</a> <a href="/tags/deportation/" rel="tag">#Deportation</a> <a href="/tags/apple/" rel="tag">#Apple</a> <a href="/tags/socialmedia/" rel="tag">#SocialMedia</a> </p><p><a href="https://www.404media.co/apple-banned-an-app-that-simply-archived-videos-of-ice-abuses/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.404media.co/apple-banned-an-app-that-simply-archived-videos-of-ice-abuses/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.404media.co/apple-banned-a</span><span class="invisible">n-app-that-simply-archived-videos-of-ice-abuses/</span></a></p>
