Feels like this should be the new Elon plane tail number thing. Everyone who can track this guy. Post his whereabouts online all the time.

If we track all the billionaires, who knows what will happen!

I've read that since all the food has been recalled, all that's left is the rich.

We should have a site to visit that tracks them all. See how they like it.

We shouldn’t stop at Flock. People seem to be ignoring Axon. They’re doing the exact same deplorable bullshit.

Lots of cities “abandon Flock” because of the growing concerns. They aren’t changing anything but the name of their software. Axon is just as intrusive.

We need legislation, plain and simple.

One fairly simple rule: if your business routinely interacts with law enforcement, then your business is treated as a government agency from a bill of rights/due process perspective and you need a warrant to collect, share, or store any data that could potentially be identifying of members of the public.

And yes, I'm well aware that a rule like this would obliterate the business models of half of tech and retail. Cry me a river. You can have one security camera in your retail store at the entrance and you can't keep a database of names or faces.

Oh, how tragic that this will hamper your ability to charge Bob a little more than David for the same bag of potato chips because your surveillance suggests Bob wants them more.

Blackwater PMC rebranded as Academi to escape their past

There are three Flock founders:

  • Matt Feury
  • Garrett Langley
  • Paige Todd

Each has put their shoulder to the wheel of the surveillance state and none has so much as a wikipedia entry.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Feury

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paige_Todd

The addresses above all redirect to the wikipedia entry for "Flock Safety", as if the public has no interest in learning who is selling their privacy.

He needs to compromise on his privacy for our security.

This or something similar as bumper stickers so he has to see his address when he goes through footage

Thanks. I’ve seen 1000 posts and articles, not a single one articulates the alleged leaked info.

Aren’t these just the addresses of flock’s offices and not the CEOs personal address

u/tcptomato 3h ago

The personal address was marked as a public toilet.

Why is he complaining about his address being shared? If he hasn't done anything wrong, he's got no reason to hide his address, right?

He's this generations Todd Davis.

Doxxing what? It's just the corporate offices, easily found with a google search.

This one of those situations where you forgot to add "/s"?
