> “Accusing someone of spying on children is not a policy disagreement; it is a life-altering allegation.” - flock “life altering”? Oh so like a women and her kids being held at gun point while face down on the hot tarmac of a parking lot cause your stupid ai cameras got the wrong car.

I don’t know why they don’t like being accused of spying on children when they seem to be doing everything they can to spy on children.

Pretty amazing they’re framing it as an “accusation,” when there’s access logs obtained via FOIA request that prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they were spying on children.

How did a Jewish Community Center end up allowing FLOCK to access its security cameras? Pool and Gymnastics seem like sensitive places unless PEDO.

    I hate to say it, but Jewish organizations get threats all the time. Just yesterday I was at a temple that removed its "reserved for Rabbi" parking space, because he had been threatened and didn't want to make identification easier. An explanation rather than an excuse. But it's not entirely surprising that they would sign up for a service that might help them catch offenders.

        > the Jewish nation You can just say Israel. Unless you're trying to imply all Jewish people. You do not have to be Jewish to be a citizen of Israel - there are even Muslim citizens.

        It's pretty clear that he says Jews and means Jews. Including me. I don't approve of the current government of Israel, and the many Israelis who support it. But that does not change the fact that the target on my back predates 1948 and has nothing to do with anything going on today.

        Yep, the Jewish people being used as scapegoats for political issues dates back a couple millennia. Once a person or group is singled out, it became easy for others to use that prejudice for their own ends. Just ask anyone who has ever been bullied. See also: Muslims in the U.S. in 2001 who were treated unfairly and had nothing to do with 9/11. (I flagged their comment because I think it is antisemitic, but the HN Guidelines say we have to assume good faith.)

        Which goes to show that not everyone supports what their politicians do - certainly not a whole ethnic or religious group.
