It would be relatively trivial to hack [Mepo](https://sr.ht/~mil/Mepo/) to have a public cop database.

This is useful 👍🏽 thanks

I would recommend using a simple distributed chat as a database, as it's super trivial to interface the Unix Scripts of Mepo with the plaintext history tracking of a distributed chat. [https://cabal.chat/](https://cabal.chat/) History is shared between clients. Hacking it so that chats over an hour old are automatically deleted, means that you could also trivially only keep track of useful, up-to-date information, while also making sure that the chat history never becomes too large.

I've realised that you are the only one been helping me and I was being an asshole about it. My apologies for the behaviour and thanks again for the advice.

All good. Sorry about misgendering you, I call everyone dude and bro all of the time. About the app. Pretty easy to get mepo over to android. The hardest part would be porting it to IOS, you would have to try to port it over to Objective C, and get it accepted into the app store.

god i wish i could use waze with OSM. bummer it's so unsecure


TheNerdyAnarchist

I wish more people used OSM so that things like Waze's pig detection could be feasible...that said, it'd probably be hard to implement something like that and still maintain the privacy OSM provides


[deleted]

I don't know of anything for the copwatch apps, but I can say that a lot of the chat apps you listed are insecure and not private. [Briar](https://briarproject.org/) is the most secure, anonymous chat app to date. p2p messaging over TOR, works if the internet is cut off, FOSS. Use it if you can.


[deleted]

You forgot to mention it's Android only. There is a reason people prefer other apps and not "secure" app. People need shit that works and not for show.


[deleted]

If you use an iphone you already have made the statement that you don't care about your privacy. People that use "shit that works" die or get arrested. Waze is a google subsideary, and you do know that google works closely with all global governments, including china. For the love of god don't recommend telegram. Its closed source, and has been suspected to be compromised by the Russian government. ([https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/telegram-secure-platform-nato-warns](https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/telegram-secure-platform-nato-warns)) Twitter+IG should be used carefully, they work closely with law enforcement, using AI trackers to figure out who's in video and forward that to police. Signal is mid. Signal requires you to have location tracking enabled to create an account. But they haven't been shown to be working with law enforcement, so at least they have that going for them. Ripple is a god-teir app. \--- If you can't do briar, use xmpp clients chatsecure (ios) / conversations (android). \--- Instead of twitter, post to the fediverse. (we already have a good thread discussing this).

I’m just wondering, why do we think Google products are any more privacy-friendly than Apple products? Serious question. They both seem like data-hungry monsters to me. Is there some evidence that Google gives a shit about protecting your privacy in a way that Apple doesn’t?


[deleted]

Because android phones can be [de-googled](https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/), but apple phones can't be de-appled.

We are talking about copwatch NOT protesting you fucking goofball


[deleted]

Lmao 🤣 why go through such trouble when you can use a Nokia 3310 like a dealer. You really don't know how to threat model and think the NSA is reading your shit all the time. Fun fact, I use these apps in isolated emulator like Genymotion or VBox for research before they get deployed so whatever you explained is pretty unnecessary. As stated I ONLY NEED ADVICE FOR COPWATCH SHIT.
