The title is kinda rude. The content seems pretty fair for the most part.

World’s biggest clickbait title backfire?

Title is pretty inflammatory, I agree, but the article itself is also a pretty savage takedown. It just so happens that it was a pretty reasonable savage takedown backed up by evidence and it’s mostly just excerpts of the ICEBlock app author putting his own foot in his mouth and exposing his rather large lack of knowledge and competence in what he is doing.

I do agree with other people’s sentiment here: author is not wrong, but did not really do the most effective thing if their goal was actually to get the ICEBlock author to secure the app. If someone is going to act like a petulant child when confronted with evidence they need to fix something, they need to be treated like a child. And starting off the conversation as combative is going to make the child respond in kind.

I imagine the ICEBlock author automatically assumed that Micah Lee was some pro-ICE rando without looking into him at all, further proving the blog post title correct.
