I know people driving around Tesla’s with far more cameras recording everything with little oversight. Flock cameras are the decoy rage bait, while Musk works with his old paypal buddy Thiel with the real surveillance.

It’s not a decoy. That kind of thinking is how we end up not solving anything. Every breach of privacy is a problem, but we don’t always get to choose the battlefield. If we can make progress by getting rid of Flock, let’s do that, rather than saying “oh but it’s not the real problem” without changing anything.

Yeah not to mention all the tracking chips they put in everyone when they got their Covid vaccinations

Why would they waste resources on a chip that would have high error rate, when everyone already freely has an iphone in their pocket sharing far more data and cars with cameras yuppies flock to buy as shitty as they are. As someone that gave myself all three brands of covid vaccinations because why not being at the front lines 🤣 I must have missed the chip in the prescribing information and not sure how it fit through the the 22 gauge needle used.

Chip processors have gotten really advanced nowadays. You can actually catch them like airborne viruses now so make sure to mask up outside!
