I’m pretty sure my Yankee friends do not have to compromise whatsoever. Fuck this CEO. I hope you guys guillotine him.
Hey, thanks for the support. Being an American these days feels like everyone is against you.
Those outside the USA bitch about us butting in with no understanding of political nuance in their country sure do the same to us.
Tbf, I think many of us outsiders understand the nuance of the USA more than the average American understands about other countries’, because we are bombarded constantly with your news and actually need to pay attention since the actions of your country affect us greatly.
I see a lot of people saying that Trump voters and those that voted against him are the same and deserve the same treatment. As well a surprising amount that are blood thirsty and wanting to see us start gunning each other down.
Again, as a counterpoint, I also see similar comments on other countries’ oppressive governments too.
It’s always, “why aren’t they resisting?” Or, “they wouldn’t dare try this on me! I’ve got guns and I’ll fight back!”
In the end, we all talk tough on the internet and expect everyone to be as heroic as us we imagine ourselves to be. Just do your best out there, and stay safe.
Or track ones private jets takeoffs and landings
This is the thing that I don’t get about the legality of this shit. If I set up a camera aimed at my neighbor’s driveway and intentionally logged every coming and going of he, his wife, his kids… I could justiably be charged with stalking. But so long as I set up a network of cameras and track my neighbor’s every whereabouts with this network and sell access to this data to anyone interested… that’s not stalking. That’s just good American business.
That is without the added layer of law enforcement involvement, tax dollar support, and absolutely no public say in the matters, etc.
The answer is, he is an individual, and Flock cameras are not targeting any one individual, at least not in theory.
Also, I see the argument he’s making. The argument is, if it were your child who was kidnapped, would you not want your neighbors to give up some of their privacy in order to turn cameras on every corner toward getting your child home safely? But the problem with that is, Flock cameras are not bringing kidnapped kids home. Neither are Ring doorbells, which are just as bad. What they are doing is making life worse for people of colour and anyone else They want to target. So that’s the problem. The parent can’t blame their neighbours (particularly their dark-skinned neighbours) for wanting their privacy when a child’s safety is on the line, because the Flock cameras are not bringing any children home. That’s not what they’re for, and pretending they are is bullshit and everybody on both sides knows it. We COULD use all this tech for good. But the people who run it don’t want to. They’ve proven this time and again. So no, they do not get the benefit of the doubt. No, they do not get to take the high road, even hypothetically.
Since this was posted he had his house removed from Google Maps
It’s illegal for you to do that because you’re not a billionaire.
yes, thank you, fuck!
I don’t know why people don’t seem to get this. It doesn’t matter if they are being lawful or not, fascists will shape the laws to achieve their own goals.
The law has always been a tool used by the ruling class to subjugate the working class, it has never been moral. Hell, this isn’t even just fascism, its capitalism. Even in Canada, the RCMP were quite literally created to control indigenous people.
How to roll out nation-wide public cameras against the peoples interests?
- have a visible and clumsy company (Palantir) distract the public
- have a second company (Axon) quietly roll out hidden cameras
Rapist mindset.
