Who you’re targeting:

Tim Cook (CEO), Eddy Cue (SVP, Services), Phil Schiller (App Store), Apple App Review Board.

What’s happening:

Apple removed the ICEBlock app from the App Store after pressure from the U.S. Department of Justice, citing “safety” and “objectionable content.”

Why this matters:

Apple has taken down ICEBlock—a community tool that lets people crowd-report nearby ICE activity—after direct federal pressure. This decision chills lawful speech and deprives vulnerable families and their allies of timely, nonviolent safety information. Meanwhile, crowd-sourced alert features remain available in other major apps (e.g., police-activity alerts), revealing inconsistent enforcement by Apple. 

ICEBlock’s developer reports over 1 million users depended on this tool. Removing it without a transparent, even-handed policy process—especially under government pressure—contradicts Apple’s stated commitments to human rights and privacy. We condemn violence and doxxing; we support community awareness, legal rights education, and equal rules for all apps. 

What we’re asking Apple to do:

1. Reinstate ICEBlock or publish a clear, public path to reinstatement that does not gut its core purpose.
2. Apply policies consistently across all crowd-reporting apps (if Waze-style alerts are allowed, this should be too).  
   Publish a detailed explanation of the takedown, including any government requests, in Apple’s transparency reporting,
3. Create a rights-impact review for future removals affecting civil liberties.

Sign to tell Apple:

Don’t let government pressure decide which peaceful, speech-based tools communities can use.
