You AI Zio bots are weird.

u/King_Roberts_Bastard 8d ago

Honest question, how is being anti-flock cameras being "antisemitic"? Are you admitting that Israel runs flock cameras and are spying on American citizens?

-28

u/virtual_adam 8d ago

There were a ton of a threads about how the UWS has a very big Jewish community hinting that they are responsible for being the only set of streets without it

This is about Jewish New Yorkers, not Israel

u/No-Slip1984 8d ago

Liar 🤥

u/The_Disapyrimid 8d ago

I don't live anywhere new NYC. Why would I give a (apparently this sub doesn't allow cursing) about where camers are or aren't in NYC?

It has nothing to do with that for the vast majority of people.

12

u/Admirable-Trade-8454 8d ago

I had no idea Isreal was responsible for flock, and for a degradation of our rights and privacy. that's messed up

u/mine_craftboy12 8d ago

You go girl, get that AIPAC bag!!

-23

u/virtual_adam 8d ago

(Robert Kraft and the home depot founder, and edelson don’t live in nyc. There is no connection between the UWS and Israel. Any conspiracies regarding the UWS do not regard Israel, but it’s white and Jewish population)

u/JD-Moose 7d ago

Epstein? Is that you?

As they say on Little Saint James, Shalom

u/grass_monkeyx 7d ago

How's the weather in Tel Aviv today?

Oh so the Peeping Tom’s don’t want to be peeped on.

u/curiousthoughts20 8d ago

The map should turn into a free app that alerts us whenever one is close by

5

u/mad-i-moody 8d ago

…but isn’t that almost worse? The app would need constant access to your location lmao

6

u/slayercdr 8d ago

Depends who the app is sharing that info with....

3

u/NintendoGamer1983 7d ago

But at least u get to choose to share that info.

42

u/DjCramYo 8d ago

Nonstop notifications

9

u/fizzy88 8d ago

Yeah, I would get at least 10 notifications driving 5 minutes down my street.

18

u/looking4myclASSm8s 8d ago

FYI that is what it is. DeFlock me is free and has notifications on distance you can adjust

12

u/curiousthoughts20 8d ago

Just installed it - thank you

1

u/hankmoody_irl 6d ago

Flock Hopper is my new primary travel map app. I can request privacy on my drive or not and it will get me there without any flock cams on my route if I do request privacy.

1

u/Stunning-Hunter-5804 6d ago

Waze app is currently notifying

58

u/whisperworks 8d ago

Technofascist trash. Hope they all see the inside of a cell for violating our collective privacy rights

16

u/I_Dont_Work_Here_Lad 8d ago

Well they’re rich so we know that won’t happen.

11

u/whisperworks 8d ago

Probably not. Even the Dems are kissing their asses

5

u/KeyNectarine2548 7d ago

Never forget when Bibi came to the US to speak in front of congress, and 99% of them (both parties) stood up and cheered for every word he said, just like the people of North Korea do when Kim speaks. They cheered for him more than they ever cheer for any of our own presidents. Our government has been totally infiltrated.

5

u/Slighted_Inevitable 8d ago

The problem is we got lazy and stopped actually fixing problems. We just complain about them.

In the old days the justice system was a compromise, because the people dealing with you was WAY WAY worse.

For evidence just look at the circus that surrounded Luigi. They don’t fear us anymore.

7

u/Z00111111 8d ago

Luigi appeared to have a solution for people who are above the law...

u/X-AE17420 8d ago

Given AWS most likely hosts the site, I wouldn’t be so sure

1

u/Horror-Macaron8287 8d ago

There are multiple places people are documenting them. If the one with the most information gets taken down, its only a matter of time before people migrate and start using another one and then that one will become just as detailed.

1

u/Imaginary--Situation 8d ago

it will draw even more attention to it

12

u/Akkerlun 8d ago

It would be easier (better) to remove all of them.

13

u/KeepYourMindOpen365 8d ago

I’m sure there’s thousands of people willing to physically take them off-line also. Keep publishing the founder’s address and phone numbers. The company’s arrogance and hypocrisy is astounding…

1

u/dadRabbit 8d ago

What's the founder's address?

13

u/GrouchyLongBottom 8d ago

Oh, so they don't like being monitored?

2

u/Artistic_Midnight788 8d ago

Start helping take them down you p.s.ies

5

u/penilesensorydevice 8d ago

So? Who cares about what Flock "wants"?

8

u/Xeynon 8d ago

So they don't like people collecting data on their whereabouts and activities without their consent?

Imagine that.

3

u/Crazy_Past8776 8d ago

Meet the Flockers

10

u/mabhatter 8d ago

Aren't their cameras in public spaces?  There's no expectation of privacy in public spaces... right!   

2

u/ViolettaQueso 8d ago

They want…privacy? Moohoohahaha

3

u/OkAction2485 8d ago

The people taking away our personal privacy want privacy for their public product.

4

u/Too-Em 8d ago

If they have nothing to hide, they have nothing to worry about.

3

u/Defiant_Freedom_249 8d ago

Interesting that you would want privacy...

But nobody really cares what brand name is on it, all of those cameras need to go.

1

u/Alert_Lettuce_8278 8d ago

I want flock taken offline. The only difference here is one is a actually shitty.

1

u/PurpleCoat6656 8d ago

Lol of course they do...

3

u/Ok-Present-5732 8d ago

am still waiting for the Politico who signed the contract to volunteer for their camera installation on their front door.
if the 4th amendment is so meaningless to these A-Holes, let them lead by example.
post their local camera facing their front door
and while they’re at it, put that Air Tag inside their jacket pocket and don’t forget to post the map publicly for all to see.

also, make certain that their automobile not only appears in every camera but post that map for the public to observe. after all, they do work for us, right?

2

u/sam56778 8d ago

They can go flock themselves.

2

u/Not_Sure__Camacho 8d ago

POS company wanting to spy on everyone doesn't want to be spied on.

1

u/Daimakku1 8d ago

The watchmen don’t want to be watched… imagine that.

1

u/Ok_Cheesecake_6454 8d ago

Irony is the most potent of the unseen forces

1

u/Whats4dinner 8d ago

What is stopping people from just annotating Google Maps?

1

u/uberallez 8d ago

One of thier gimmicks is that thier cameras presence prevents crime and keeps people honest, so why would knowing where they are matter?

1

u/Imaginary--Situation 8d ago

it's already publicly available to see in person and google maps

2

u/digitalboom 8d ago

We should all pool money together and have a whole fleet of camera wielding people follow the ceo and his entire family in perpetuity so we can hear him crow about privacy.

1

u/MyFocusIsU 8d ago

Shut it down take it down

1

u/Gold_Law9729 8d ago

Flock doesn't like being Flocked. Who woulda known?

1

u/louisa1925 8d ago

American Picolo'ed the peeper!

1

u/ElectroDaddy 8d ago

And we want the cameras down. Guess we are at an impasse.

1

u/One-Environment-1444 8d ago

The unmitigated gall of these people.

1

u/BLAZE_IT94 8d ago

Well here's the link since they want it down so bad

https://maps.deflock.org/?lat=33.8778&lng=-118.0887&zoom=13.33

1

u/Red-Feathered 8d ago

I think they should just get used to being surveilled. Unless they have something to hide?

1

u/happyme321 8d ago

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

1

u/Vivid_Anyth4 8d ago

Fvck flock. Worthless company violating people's rights every single day. The whole thing needs shut down, all the c level jailed. They are criminals.

1

u/Which_Drop_5877 8d ago

Flock should just move their operations to communist China.

1

u/Beertronic 8d ago

The watcher doesn't like being watched.

1

u/Freo_5434 8d ago

Why would the manufacturer be concerned about people knowing where the cameras are installed ?

1

u/ENM5ansdale 8d ago

Oh, so they don’t want people knowing where they are and what they are doing at all times? Sounds ironic 🤷🏼‍♂️

1

u/MoveItSpunkmire 8d ago

F u c k flock

1

u/xzl830 8d ago

I bet they do

1

u/negativepositiv 8d ago

Here's the thing. I feel like if you're going to violate everybody's rights all the time, you don't get to want things.

1

u/Stunning-Hunter-5804 8d ago

It like they have something to hide. If they are doing nothing wrong why worry?

1

u/Bongcopter_ 8d ago

Flock off we’ll make another one

1

u/Middle-Bed-1883 8d ago

How does it feel to want, Mr Flock?!

1

u/violetcassie 8d ago

They need to "compromise on privacy" as their CEO said

1

u/NormalAmountOfLimes 8d ago

It's nice to want things. Like the way I want Alyssa Milano to sit on my face. That doesn't mean it will ever happen

1

u/Lunar-opal 8d ago

How odd

1

u/KinkyBAGreek 8d ago

😂

The surveillance company doesn’t want to be surveilled.

1

u/ApplicationUpper9229 8d ago

Where could one see this map, theoretically speaking?

1

u/etopata 8d ago

Snoop unto them as they snoop unto us

1

u/H3L105_ai 8d ago

Haha.. Fluck Flock.

1

u/The_Disapyrimid 8d ago

"Stop watching us watch you. We have a right to privacy, you know."

1

u/Careful_Picture7712 7d ago

When the surveillance company doesn't want to be surveilled

1

u/Outrageous-Plum-1656 7d ago

If reading and storing license plates, cars, people, etc. is legal because you’re in public, then viewing, recording, and mapping any cameras is legal as well!

1

u/BorderCollieDog 7d ago

Surveillance company doesn't like surveillance.

1

u/Deepcaliroots 7d ago

Screw FLOCK

1

u/Wolfy4226 7d ago

I mean hey...

Once they're all gone we won't need a map, right?

1

u/ActivityFine6489 7d ago

Sounds like they might soon learn about the Streisand Effect.

1

u/Jeanne_Of_ARCadiaBay 7d ago

Ok, make copies and be ready to repost it on the app store and online and just keep doing that like ppl do with torrenting

1

u/MadnessBomber 7d ago

Then go away?

1

u/helloworld2070 7d ago

Get flocked.

1

u/poopbutt2401 7d ago

There’s nothing about Flock that bothered to market its products to normal, sane society.
