Flock is importing China's ubiquitous surveillance in America until every habitable space is captured
- roumenguha 2mo agoI get that this comment is meant to warn about the creeping government overreach and a curtailment of free speech, by comparing the US against a society where government surveillance is already commonplace. I wonder if it does a disservice to readers to not make that same comparison against more similar countries instead (UK, Germany, Australia to name a few examples)?

- tremon 2mo agoIt's not that useful to single out Flock for that purpose. Google Nest and Amazon Alexa are also in that category.
- edoceo 2mo agoMaybe Ring too?
- tremon 2mo agoCertainly! And probably a multitude of other devices and phone apps as well.

It's only a matter of time before every self-driving vehicle will have its cameras used for surveillance.
