“THANKS, [Attorney General Pam Bondi] Having applied the pressure necessary to protect our police forces and have the application deleted, “said Williams.

Deputy Secretary of the Department of Internal Security, Tricia McLaughlin, criticized the title of the New York Times, which said that “Apple eliminates ice monitoring applications in the middle of Trump’s pressure campaign”.
“Our ice men and women are Doxxed, hunted down, the personal information of their families is put on the Dark web, they are faced with an increase of 1000% of attacks, a terrorist just tried to kill them a week ago. But it is not worthy of interest for the New York Times, told McLaughlin to Fox News Digital in a declaration, in addition to publish” A screen on the head.

Meanwhile, some criticized Apple’s decision to withdraw the application.
“Wait. Now, it is normal for the government to demand that a technology company removes something?

“Oh [Apple] You really suck for having shot down the ice cream! Who is not going with you? Put it back !! These are families who just separate from BC, unidentified losers, decide – not ok, “wrote another user.

Iceblock was released in April, while anti-glossy demonstrations raged in big cities like Los Angeles and Portland throughout the summer.
“We contacted Apple today by asking that they withdraw the Iceblock application from their App Store – and Apple did it,” Bondi in Fox News Digital told a statement.
“Iceblock is designed to endanger ice agents just to do their job, and violence against the police is an intolerable red line that cannot be crossed,” continued the Attorney General. “This Ministry of Justice will continue to do everything possible to protect our brave Federal Agents from the Application of Laws, who risk their lives every day to ensure the safety of the Americans.”
