it keeps tagging the repub's favorite people, the police. so yeah flock can't survive, not because of the people, but because of all the bad apples it keeps outing.

"ABUSE OF POWER COMES AS NO SURPRISE" Holzer-ism #14

Maybe they could revolt against project 2025 too…
Flock has managed to do what few before have accomplished -- elevated its brand to Google-like status in terms of people associating the entire category of its service with its brand name.

Too bad for them that its for a category that virtually everyone (rightfully, IMO) hates, across all political lines.

Gonna need a bigger bribe.
A flock is used for a group of sheep. These are AI cameras to watch the sheep. We are their flock of sheep to watch. What an awesomely bad choice of name for the company.
Is this a cynical play to gain points for the midterms, after which they'll promptly about-face?

I do wish the Dems would come out against both surveillance and datacenters, since they're heinously unpopular, but most are too cowardly to stand for anything but the most milquetoast positions...
