- Is there some positive way to identify Flock cameras based on bluetooth/wifi/other signals they're putting out?by pavel_lishin
- Just a headsup that each Flock camera contains a 64 GB RAM chip, as well as gold, silver and copper in varying amounts. To protect such valuable assets, safety must be ensured in the vicinity.by fakedang
- Perhaps this is a good thing. The more Flock keeps pressing their non-consensual stalker network in an openly anti-democratic fashion, the more popular support for running them out of town keeps building. I'd love to see state laws banning commercial camera networks in or pointing at public places, plus strict rules for surveillance camera use by businesses - mandating local storage only, deletion after 30 days unless there is a court-ordered hold, and outright prohibiting any use of facial recognition.by mindslight
- I can’t overemphasize how happy I am that people are taking the surveillance threat that Flock represents seriously. Ordinarily, the “I haven’t done anything wrong so I have nothing to worry about” fallacy tends to dominate the discussion.
- The sheer naked contempt this company has for citizens and the law is staggering.by Analemma_
