The country needs to find a “compromise” between privacy and safety, according to Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley.
“When people talk about just one of these, privacy or safety, they’re prioritizing the wrong thing, and what we have to prioritize as a country is compromise,” Langley said during a recent interview with Fox News. “How do we have our safety, and how do we balance privacy?”
How about we don’t duplicate George Orwells 1984 irl?
Here’s a compromise: how about you fuck off?
Compromise: Quit now, and keep your head.
was about to make a similar post.
Stop building the invasive bullshit, or we start building guillotines.
I like the whole “publicly hanged for treason” thing.
Here’s my compromise: we give the Flock CEO twenty to life instead of sentencing him to public flaying like he deserves.
public flaying?
No, no… Blood Eagle.
Im on board with this.
Take your cameras down and maybe people don’t want to destroy them. Good compromise, eh?
The compromise is you scrap every camera, or we do.
Compromise: kill yourself
Compromise offer: you stop spying on us and we’ll stop breaking your cameras.
Here is your compromise. Shutter your company & we won’t hang you.
The more you learn about Flock, the scarier it gets. They have FULL profiles built on EVERY american that has flock cameras nearby. All your shopping, driving, financial habits are tracked. They know who all your friends and family are and how often you visit, they track your vehicles specific identifiable features like bumper damage, stickers, faded paint, etc. All of that is a complete violation of the 4th amendment and all these companies need to be sued.
Even deeper, they claim to be able to read “pet tags,” which would mean they can read ANY RFID, they know your gym code, if you have a fob for your apartment they can clone it and get in like a kid with a Flipper 0.
Idk how it’s physically possible so hopefully they’re lying, they should have to be basically touching the tag, but they claim they can. I’d believe they can read UHF RFID but that isn’t what they claimed, they specified “pet tags” (which again, would mean they can do all tags.) And that would mean they can add NFC and read your cards in your wallet, if they wanted, because that isn’t far off from RFID. Now ostensibly they’d have to perform the handshake with your card so they’d only have the same partial info a Flipper could pull, but like, still not a fan of that personally.
Source?
Before asking for a source for commonly known information, you should first demonstrate that you’ve done a modicum of searching yourself first.
There is absolutely no reason to track people everywhere they go. We were fine before these things.
Yup, violent crime has been dropping for decades and not an insignificant drop. We did not need mass surveillance, we did not want mass surveillance, nor do we want it now.
Lead levels dropped
I can guarantee this has been said already, but the compromise is simple; no flock cameras (or comparable tech) anywhere.
Corporate CEOs can all have 1 camera each, on their front lawn, for them to hang from.
What the US should prioritize is opportunity, education, corporate regulation, housing affordability, justice and dealing with corruption.
Gee, then they wouldn’t need the surveillance state.
You’re right, but all the 1% heard was: you think they should have less yacht money.
I am not even against the yacht money, just fucking STOP with the ARISTOCRATIC behaviors, dynamics, incentives.
I support a wealth cap ample enough to own a yacht, but not enough to make rogue aristocravcy viable. At least for now. The billionaires are doing everything they can to convince me that maybe even the yacht money is too much wealth holding.
Thr yact money is definitely too much.
With how things are going now, every day I am more amenable to this line of thinking.
These concerns aren’t just hypothetical. The Washington Post recently identified 46 cases where police officers have been accused of using Flock technology for unauthorized purposes, including to stalk their wives, girlfriends, or exes.
After listening to an interview with one of the alleged victims, Langley told CBS News, “I apologize. It kills me that she went through that.” At the same time, he insisted, “I don’t think that Flock created police abuse. I think we’re the first company to ever shine a light on it and build the tools to find it.”
Oh fuck off. You don’t get to call yourself a hero for making a problem worse.
Seriously. “Our product is as much a honeypot for corrupt policing as it is for public surveillance” as the way to whitewash this just goes to show how hard they had to workshop this press release. It’s indefensible.
Nah.
No compromise with our rights being infringed upon.
Destroy them all.
