  • It looks like he’s the founder of BashSquare from his profiles, I found his website. https://ahmedbashbash.github.io/ Looks like it has contact information, you could possibly ask clarifying questions if you wanted to.

    I’m pretty certain it’s not some kind of Israeli honeypot or something like that. They’ve also done a few donation drives in the past.

    The barcodes themselves provide the information for the business the product is from, at least most of them. There is also community input, where people can request a product be added if it is on the boycott list but they find the barcode not identifying it. They are also working on community additions to alternative products to boycotted ones, that should roll out in a future update

    I know grapheneos does sandboxing which is really nice. You can also further isolate by setting up a new profile or using the private space, depending on what your threat level is. I just have it on my regular profile myself





  • I don’t know anything about BashSquare, but the developer is Ahmed Bashbash, a Palestinian software engineer from Gaza residing in Hungary.

    Here’s the About page:

    As far as what’s on the boycott list, it follows the official boycott list from my knowledge and gives an explanation on why a brand is boycotted

    It works without camera access if you have no need to scan barcodes, it does need network to access the boycott list information. It doesn’t need notification or sensor access to work. At least on grapheneos
