"Flock Safety, whose drones were once reserved for police departments, is now offering them for private-sector security, the company announced today, with potential customers including including businesses intent on curbing shoplifting.Companies in the US can now place Flock's drone docking stations on their premises. If the company has a waiver from the Federal Aviation Administration to fly beyond visual line of sight (these are becoming easier to get), its security team can fly the drones within a certain radius, often a few miles.

#Flock cameras says that it has “paused its operations with federal agencies” because their system has been used for ICE enforcement.

“Pausing” operations means that they HAVE BEEN ALLOWING IT until now.

Flock makes money per query. They are incentivized to allow “law enforcement” types to query their systems for as many things as they want, including tracking people down for violating anti-abortion laws, suspected “immigration” issues, and who knows what else.

Your tax dollars are paying for this. Flock cameras should be taken down.

"How to Pump the Brakes on Your Police Department’s Use of Flock’s Mass Surveillance License Plate Readers"

https://www.aclu.org/news/privacy-technology/how-to-pump-the-brakes-on-your-police-departments-use-of-flocks-mass-surveillance-license-plate-readers

"Unlike a targeted ALPR camera system that is designed to take pictures of license plates, check the plates against local hot lists, and then flush the data if there’s no hit, Flock is building a giant camera network that records people’s comings and goings across the nation, and then makes that data available for search by any of its law enforcement customers. Such a system provides even small-town sheriffs access to a sweeping and powerful mass-surveillance tool, and allows big actors like federal agencies and large urban police departments to access the comings and goings of vehicles in even the smallest of towns. And every new customer that buys and installs the company’s cameras extends Flock’s network, contributing to the creation of a centralized mass surveillance system of Orwellian scope. Motorola Solutions, a competitor to #Flock, is pursuing a similar business model."

"The company’s cameras are no longer just recording our comings and goings — now, using AI in ways we have long warned against, the system is actively evaluating each of us to make a decision about whether we should be reported to law enforcement as potential participants in organized crime."

"All these are variants on the same theme: using the camera network not just to investigate based on suspicion, but to generate suspicion itself."

Donc on a Gabriel Attal et Manon Aubry (qui a supprimé, elle) qui surfent aussi sur la vague d'appropriation du style de Miyazaki via ChatGPT sur leurs Instagram, participant à la com' de Sam Altman et de l'irrespect des auteurices.

Et la série hebdomadaire de #Flock est encore super : Invasion, exploitation, liquéfaction

Dessin de Flock :

Titre : OpenAI se sert du style du réalisateur anti-IA Miyazaki pour promouvoir ses modèles

Sous une nuit de pleine lune, au Japon deux cochons se goinfrent d'un plat de pellicules de film

Chihiro : Maitre Miyazaki, c'est qui ces gros porcs sans gène ?

Miyazaki : OpenAi ma petite Chihiro
