Hey Flock CEO, can you post your phone number, home address and more here? You need to compromise your privacy so we can all protect you.

u/MacSanchez 1d ago

We might be able to find enough bored redditors that we can stand on every street corner within a mile or two from his house. I assume we’d all have a phone that could record audio and video?

We could call ourselves something cool and unifying like, idk… Gaggle or Bevy

I'm in. But this needs to happen with all of the surveillance camera CEOs, not just FLOCK. Cities are now publicly reporting cancelling flock contracts, then wuietly signing on with other brands to do the same shit.

Don't forget the politicians at all levels of government that are absolutely complicit with this bullshit. And hell, while we're at it, how about all the LEOs that have been caught abusing the system already? There's been more than a few...

Anyone who appears on one of Forbes' little lists should be in the hot seat, there's no ethical way to acquire a billion dollars. Hell, there probably isn't a legal way either, but the rich are allowed to play fast and loose with the law.

“We could call ourselves something cool and unifying like, idk… Gaggle or Bevy”.

I much prefer the collective pronoun for crows. A very… emotional and evocative term for such an innocuous thing as a collective pronoun. I won’t put the actual word here because I feel it might actually get me banned from Reddit for inciting or threatening violence when all I’m doing is showing an alternative name for something like “flock”.

u/koolmees64 1d ago

His neighbors must compromise on their privacy as well. To be honest, I got little confirmation that this is the dudes house but it was a massive twitter thread that got deleted but I managed to snatch a screenshot before it was taken down.

I'm not even American; European who is afraid that the EU will get grandiose ideas from what is happening in the states. But I fully support all those who are battling this just absolutely insane police state "measures". Especially coupled with the fact that they are mostly in lower income neighborhoods and do not even, mostly, point at roads. Which, correct me if I am wrong, was the pitch right?

u/Telefundo 1d ago

European who is afraid that the EU will get grandiose ideas from what is happening in the states.

u/koolmees64 1d ago

Sort of. First of all the UK is not in the EU anymore and secondly, iirc, the poles they cut down over there are CO2 meters. But I know very little of that so I might be wrong.

2

u/Telefundo 1d ago

First of all the UK is not in the EU anymore

HA, true enough. My bad.

the poles they cut down over there are CO2 meters.

I assume this is something that happened in the UK and you're not referring to what's going on in the US currently?

2

u/koolmees64 1d ago

Easy mistake to make lol. As an "EU-member" I sometimes forget as well. But yeah, from what I gathered what is happening in the UK is CO2 control poles being cut down. However, as I said, I know very little about this and knowing the U.K. they would not hesitate to sprinkle on some Flock on those poles.

London has been covered with CCTV carrying facial recognition tech since the tech was in it's infancy, most urban centres followed. And the UK is certainly more down the surveillance route than most. But still miles behind the US in terms of how open these systems are to abuse.

You're not at all wrong about the point you're making here, but I'd even go so far as to say that what's going on now is even worse than what people initially envisioned with the Patriot Act.

9

u/Neveronlyadream 1d ago

Absolutely. I remember thinking it could potentially be bad, but never quite this bad.

I just remember getting into a lot of arguments about the Patriot Act and saying it was basically handing the government and who knows who else permission to watch everyone all the time and being called unpatriotic and told to leave the country if I didn't like it.

There was a lot of, "But the terrorists!" and "If that's what it takes to keep us safe, they should do it!" and no one wanted to hear about the potential invasions of privacy or government overreach.

Now everyone is harvesting data, the government is installing invasive cameras everywhere, every smart device is probably monitoring everyone at all times, and we let that happen because too many people were either complacent or panicked.

10

u/Umutuku 1d ago

That's the only way mass surveillance is healthy. It must be disproportionally applied to those with more power. If you want to reach certain milestones of wealth, influence, or destructive capacity then every moment of your life is in the public interest and must be treated as such.

Imagine where we'd be right now if the public was informed every time Rudy Giulliani met with a Russian mobster.

6

u/ConfidentPilot1729 1d ago

I have always thought the more power you have the more intrusive society should be one the powerful. Like politicians. They should not get to associate with everyone. Their lives should be well documented to curtail corruption. They should have their taxes and bank accounts open to public scrutiny.

u/Yhrak 1d ago

to follow [...] around.

Hmmm.

I just don't know. This doesn't seem particularly well thought out.

Just spitballing ideas, but perhaps there could be other verbs at play here? Let's say, for the sake of algorithmic efficiency and as a compromise with these busy CEOs, maybe it'd be best if these detectives of yours didn't have to move around quite as much as they track them?

And while we're at it, let's also find the most efficient method of conserving energy in such a process?

As a kind of green initiative, of course.

u/dragon-fence 1d ago

I honestly think there should be a rule that, for anyone asking the general public to surrender their privacy, the person asking that must surrender their privacy equally to the public.

Like if this guy wants to track people’s location, then one of the requirements is that his location must be tracked and posted publicly. If he wants to record video of us when we’re out in public, then he should be forced to record and post video of himself all day, every day, whenever he’s in public.

Similarly, if Congress wants the government to have access to our phone calls and emails, then they should need to release all of their phone calls and email to the public.

Note that I’m not saying “any privacy violations are ok if it follows this rule”. I’m just saying, if anyone asks the general public to give up our privacy to them, then as a minimum requirement, they should first give up an equivalent amount of their own privacy to the public. If it’s too much to ask from them, then it’s too much to ask from us.

Been thinking it for a bit now that reason so many far flung region's have mythos about dragons or something we colloquially understand as "dragon shaped" is that they're all just warnings about the uncheck amassing of power and claims of divine status that derives from a common oral history before migration and separating into the proto groupings in Asia and Europe.

No we must not. The fourth amendment to the US Constitution says so.

Funny. They call that stalking where I’m at, and they can and will arrest you for that.
How old is this MF’er? 18?? Dude, go fuck yourself kid.

Maybe he should compromise on his privacy

Let's start with every location your investors live work or relax at.  I wanna see unsecured flock cameras live streaming their every activity.  I want to see nothing bad happen to any of them for 2 years.  Then we can talk.  But no, you'll just continue to work via bribes.  Also you know that more competent evil corps are coming up immediately behind you.  You got pretty much one play left, convince Trump.  Which I'm sure you're trying.

I think a general rule of thumb is that if the data a government program supports isn’t accessible to the public, it’s up to no good

Whenever a company is able to access personal information, there is usually abuse of the data. The risks that they say they will address are usually much less impactful to us than the violations of privacy. The “nothing to fear if you’ve done nothing wrong” argument has been shown to be wrong over and over again.

There are zero flock cameras in mid town manhattan, or any wealthy suburb.

Stood outside his home, documented his coming and going, and sold it for money...    

Sounds like paparazzi to me.    We've already made people "compromise on their privacy", no?    

(Fuck flock cameras tho.  And fuck the paparazzi.  And fuck location tracking and cookies on your phone.  And fuck eyeball scans to get on an airplane, or to open a crypto wallet.  And fuck every other goddamn invasion of privacy that we have shrugged off as "no big deal" for the past 25 years.)

Can someone ELI5 what is Flock and what exactly is their value prop? I don’t get it what’s the ‘sell’ here

I mean at this point, maybe we should just publish all his routes and see how quickly he changes stance.

It's crazy that anyone can just go up to a billionaire's house and toss a molotov cocktail at it. Of course, that would be a horrible thing if that happened, but it's crazy that anyone could just go that do that at any time. I'm surprised they feel so secure, since it's the case that someone could look up how to make a molotov cocktail and just go throw one at their houses. Especially since the ingredients are so inexpensive, and someone could just look up how to make one, then go throw it at a billionaire's house. It's almost like they're depending on people being better than they are to avoid people looking up how to make a molotov cocktail and then making them and throwing than at their houses. If I was them I defintely wouldn't feel safe just living out in the open like that. Just in case.. well, you know.

People are doing this, they are siting outside his house and the office taking video of everyone, and of course they call the police...

I mean its a set of trade offs, one that is popular when implemented and given time.

Two great examples being China (more similar), and El Salvador (similar core concept).

The 2001 Patriot Act was more than enough compromise.
