This guy is prototyping ways to blind Flock cameras while keeping license plates street legal:

This video is great. They conspicuously film Flock employees and those employees lie (say they're not flock) and call the cops:

TIL Sheetz (gas/convenience chain) might accept lightning? Can any Appalachian Plebs corroborate this? If you can actually pump gas with it that's massive for adoption imo #bitcoin #asknostr

Don't trust. Verify. You verify your node. You verify your sigs. Then you send your clanker out to "research" and let headlines brainwash it. Your agent read six SEO recaps of a podcast it can't hear and now it has opinions. That's not research. That's indoctrination with extra steps. Letting content farms feed your clanker is keeping your keys on the shared library computer. Signing a PSBT you didn't read. Letting the intern hold the multisig. The full conversation exists. Jamie lets your agent search it: 150k+ hours of podcasts. It gets back the exact quote, speaker, timestamp, playable clip. Receipts, not recaps. ~500 sats over Lightning = 150+ searches. No account, no KYC. It can even pay its own invoice. Deprogram your clanker:

Talking to the Pro Flock crowd is wild. Even ones that I think are relatively good natured will say things like "Tell that to the family of the woman who's murderer was found by Flock" or "Oh so you want ZERO cops??" It's telling how weak their arguments are by the fact that they have to do a strawman to make my views extreme. All I'm saying is we should reject running a drag net on every person that leaves their home. The entire fabric of our legal system is predicated on particularity of warrants because the founding fathers had King's officers ransack their homes to find something to pin on them. Flock's surveillance implementation is that times 1000x with automation speed and indefinite retention. So to recap: I just want judges and legislators to properly interpret the purpose and meaning of the constitution as written. No where did I say there should be 0 cops. What I've been saying is the highest leverage point in this system is the DA level because the leniency is causing criminals to run rampant and escalate. Meanwhile the Pro Flock crowd wants to justify collecting data on everyone, whether they're guilty or not and retain it forever and make it available to the sleaziest lowest character LEOs and politicians out there. Who's view is more extreme?

Flock's PR Goon liked my sarcastic post mocking them 😂. They're not sending their best. Hang it up Rahul you don't understand the can of worms you opened. #privacy #deflock #fuckflock

If only we had Flock cameras on the scene, Iryna's killer would be behind bars for life.

This guy is a genius he just honeypots scammers with a fake bitcoin exchange that keeps them in infinite loops saying lyrics from 90s songs lmao

Babe wake up. New dystopia slave tech from Trash Clown World just dropped:

From @s2_underground on X: First of all no, we're not doing this. I do not answer DMs from a company that is trying to do damage control AFTER they have ruined the trust of Americans. I do not have "good faith" debates with people who want to enslave me in a fishbowl that they can monitor at all times. Guess what guys: We don't actually have to give anyone the benefit of the doubt, or engage in "good faith" debates with bad actors. I don't have to justify my concerns about Flock to anyone. But since this condescension pissed me off, I will respond publicly, since Flock seems to want to keep our voices in the shadows and out of the public eye. Note the argument: "You see, King George specifically authorized quartering troops among you, I don't know what you're complaining about it's ALL LEGAL". Well, golly gee guys, I guess it's all right then, they made it legal. That's exactly the problem. Notice how nobody has a problem with standard security cameras. Public security cameras are not the problem...directly pumping the feed of every square inch of the country into a centralized federal database is one HELL of a problem and we must do everything within our rights as Americans to push back against efforts like this, if we are to have a future as a nation. Flock, much like Palantir, took the decently good idea of improving security, and implemented it in the most cartoonishly evil way possible at nearly every single step. They are working directly for all levels of government....not the citizenry. They use subterfuge, legal technicalities, and every single trick in the book to put up hundreds of cameras every single day. They constantly mislead the public about what databases their sensors feed into, and who they sell the metadata to. They have so little oversight that it's laughable, and ALL oversight involves the classic case of "we investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing". Flock has been caught lying MANY times, and misleading the public regarding what their cameras actually do. Newsflash...they don't just read license plates. They are also concealing which agencies purchase their data specifically so as to avoid getting warrants, and in doing so they have turned the ENTIRE COUNTRY into an open air prison....where THEY get to provide the intelligence data to those who enforce the laws as selectively as they please. And their defense for doing so? "Aww look at the cute puppy we rescued" or "We arrested one guy using our camera network, we're so AWESOME". You don't get to arrest one genuine criminal, and use that as justification to set up and entire Minority Report-esque surveillance system to surveil the entire country. You don't get to betray trust, and then be sad that people don't trust you. You don't get to cozy up to the boot of tyranny so much that you become the boot yourself, and then pretend to be just "one of the guys". We will not fall for this gaslighting, no matter how hard they try. For some reason, many people think that private companies can't be tyrants, which could not be further from the truth. At a certain point, a private company can be so heavily embedded within government, that they might as well BE the government. Except they are worse, because we don't even have the tiniest way to hold them accountable except for taking the billion-dollar company to court. That's my problem with Flock, Palantir, and pretty much every single other defense contractor in existence. I will NOT accept every single facet of my life being monitored, just in case a criminal commits a crime somewhere near me. I will NOT live in "ze pod", no matter which politician is in power, and I will not accept a future where people like this will dictate to me what my country should be.
