    Was this ever even available to non-US accounts? Was there ever an explanation for why it was georestricted?

      It’s an app about ICE, why would it be available to non-US accounts? It was pawbably georestricted by the developer, just like most apps that have a geoblock.

            Also, if they are here legally. Or citizens. Basically, anyone with an accent. Or not. Basically, a yone brown.

          Define from the US. Are you saying those travelling in from internationally by air or road, that are getting stopped and generally detained by CBP, where ICE reporting apps would be useless because they aren’t making it to the broader community? Or are you saying those who are living and working in the US and pawbably have a US Apple account?

            People living in the US but using an Apple account set to another country. Because you can only switch it once a year or something inconvenient like that. Whatever the circumstances may be, there is seemingly no good reason to restrict the app to US accounts only.
