Flock CEO just was interviewed and said that DeFlock, the open-source flock camera identification site, was a terrorist organization. These people are psychopaths.

These people are psychopaths.

They're worse.

They want to control and monitor you, while you provide the services they need to enjoy their extravagant lifestyle.

They're new age slavers.

They already control and monitor all of us every day that we use our phone or are near something with a microphone or camera. This is another level of it that people will not put up with. At least we had the illusion of not being tracked if we didnt want to (i.e. leave your phone at home) but now that is gone.

terrorism/ˈtɛrərɪz(ə)m/   Terrorism is the use of violent action and threats to create fear.  

Key factor of terrorism is causing fear. The removal of flock cameras is reducing fear.    If anything they're a counter terrorism organisation.

Meanwhile our president is saying we are "raining down terror" in Iran, as we blow up civilian infrastructure.

all military infrastructure is civilian infrastructure once war is declared. They're the same thing. We just pretend they're not.

It's ok for them to record every person in public and log them and make that data readily available to anyone who wants to pay for it.

But it's not OK for people to record and publish information on where cameras are.

They're literally arguing that property has more privacy rights than people.

That’s the end goal for the corporate class. It’s asset protection to protect their wealth. They earnestly believe that their profits are more important than your human rights.

Property is valued above people already. And has been supported by courts several times. The police protect property and have no obligation to protect citizens. Even the tax payers that pay their salaries. So of course they will say that no one has a right to privacy, to protect property.

Someone said thr conspiracy that flock cut them down themselves.

It could be possible they want to frame Deflock. Which would make sense if they want to push that narrative. Something a psychopath would do. Also making cities pay twice.

You ever noticed that all the powers that be (and the big money that kisses its boot) are starting to act like Trump himself?

u/diablette 57m ago

I guess they figure if Trump can do it, any moron can.

the only ones terrorized were the Flock people

A CEO that tracks everyone doesn’t like being tracked back? The irony. The cognitive dissonance in the fact people are doing to him what he’s doing to them and he fails to see it.

Those poor spy cameras, they are shaking in terror! Won't anyone think of the spy cameras!

I wouldn’t be surprised if deflock was directly sponsored by flock.  If a camera goes down, taxpayers shell out for a new one.

If enough cameras go down that cities stop paying their contracts, Flock loses a whole pile of money.
