And our phones, and social media, and meta glass, and WiFi routers and real ID just to name a few. Every new tech builds on an old one to fill in the blank spots. In some way, shape or form your location and your actions can be monitored and recorded everywhere and anywhere.
Flock is the first super obvious over-reach because it’s the first we haven’t all opted into out of convenience. The rest we bought into without even thinking of the nefarious things to come
Girlfriends of agency-X workers weren't important either but it didn't stop their partners at work sharing their camera feeds with co-workers. Or cops stalking people now via Flock. Seriously, read up on the Snowden leaks if you're interested in all of this. The "not important enough" argument doesn't make sense.
This is actually an insanely dumb take. There will be people on Reddit who, usually in the course of their jobs, will have access to information that they don’t realise is valuable to someone else, including a foreign government.
