Flock (Again) Activates a Camera System a Town Had Voted to Shut Down
- pavel_lishin 2mo agoIs there some positive way to identify Flock cameras based on bluetooth/wifi/other signals they're putting out?
- finnthehuman 2mo agoThere was a talk at defcon about this. I’m on mobile but you should be able to find the esp32 firmware for their detector on github.

- Analemma_ 2mo agoThe sheer naked contempt this company has for citizens and the law is staggering.
- metalman 2mo agoAfter hearing about citizens showing up with a guiloteen to a town council vote on a data center,I am encouraged to point out that the clepto clowns, clepto pedo clowns, running half the world while not subject to any legal or moral law, must still observe gravity.
- BenFranklin100 2mo agoI 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.
- mindslight 2mo agoPerhaps 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.
- fakedang 2mo agoJust 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.
