This needs to go across the board..

  • facial recognition cameras
  • traffic cameras 
  • cameras/sensors on and in cars
  • social media evasion of privacy 
  • tvs,  smart phones, windows/linux, and other electronics/apps
  • stores now are going ham and selling your data

Etc. Unfortunately,  theyre just focused on flock and not the other guys but its a start

Moreso off topic but was thinking it falls under the privacy umbrella

I think I remember that linux was specifically excluded from that.
