Flock makes a point of saying that their system can't track individuals. Wired continues to do the Lord's work, taking Flock software apart and demonstrating its new AI tool comes preloaded with prompts like "find me witness" and "find relatives."

@evacide Flock is toast. Trump backs them so that's the kiss of death. He'll cash out and leave them to die.
Next MAGA technofash company to keep an eye on is Axon. They'll immediately take Flock's place in the domestic surveillance game and SCOTUS takes money from them.
@evacide [Garrett Langley, Flock chief executive]
“At a demonstration for police chiefs in Denver last year, Langley described the ability to search every camera in a city for cars tailing an armored truck, pulling up the registered owners of those vehicles and checking their arrest records, in under a minute.
**Investigators who try it, he said, get “addicted.”**
When the fossil fuel industry funds dictatorships & technofascist corporations; this is the outcome.
Andreessen & Larry Ellison & their close ties to petrostate despots...

@evacide Well it can't track "individuals", it tracks automobiles. The people who want to get a car sign away a lot of their freedom, it's always been the case.
If motorists weren't murdering more than 20 pedestrians per day in the USA, we might care.
@evacide not even a tiny little shout out to Benn Jordan?
