I'm unfamiliar with these apps. What is geofencing used for? Automatically alert you if there is ICE activity nearby so that you can drop what you're doing to converge ?
- burnerthrow008 1y agoI believe it serves two purposes: 1. Reduce false reports by ensuring that activity reports are reasonably geographically near the reporter's location 2. Send alerts to people who are near a cluster of reports.
- jeroenhd 1y agoThere's an alerting feature and an attempt to stop false reports. The map part is trivial (and I think someone is already scraping the locations into a web app), but the geofencing capabilities are more difficult.
