You cannot make mass surveillance "safe" or "good" by adding more guardrails. The only way to make Flock safe is to get rid of Flock. https://www.gpb.org/news/2026/08/05/analysis-more-guardrails-needed-prevent-police-misuse-of-flock-cameras

  • @evacide@hachyderm.io @jelliedchemicals@infosec.exchange Agreed, but they're starting to just replace them with Axon devices.

    @evacide@hachyderm.io Santa should forget the list and just give everyone a slingshot and a bucket of ball bearings this year.

  • @evacide@hachyderm.io Guardrails is a funny way of saying sledgehammer.

    @evacide@hachyderm.io someone pointed out that there's copper and even a gram or two of gold in each Flock camera.

    @evacide@hachyderm.io The existence of Flock & its related technologies really point to the level of paranoia evident in their thinking. Monetizing anxieties built up by the likes of Fox News. Years of race-baiting bullsh*t about "crime rates in Democrat cities" morphed into fascist ICE raids & constant state surveillance. The former Yugoslavia dissolved into murderous civil war with that type of "hate thy neighbor" malign influence. They are now stuck as a weaker set of states. Easy pickings for Putin.
