    flock is installed as part of a mass surveillance apparatus by a company based in the US, is ANOTHER SAM altman-look alike, it uses AI to track people, cars, every little detail, even phone signals/apps. Thiel heavily invested in it. the flock cameras started to appear over residential areas, colleges, low income areas more than actual traffic areas like roads, highways,etc. by 2026, 300k+ was already installed, from less than 100k a year ago. they are doing this quickly so they can say there is too much to take down(City governments were totally complicit up until people were destroying them.

    they started to appear in Canada already, i dont about EU yet. and yes its aligned with trump,ICE, palantir goals.

    it is important where the flock cameras are targeting, everywhere people are likely to have anti-fascist gatherings, movements, protests,etc.

      Thx for the explanation but… Who is financing all of this? I mean, the infrastructure alone, that can’t be cheap. Is it out of Flock’s own funds? Did the authorities ask for these to be installed? Don’t you need some kind of paperwork to install these? Idk, nevermind who / where they’re tracking… The data they track is a huge breach of privacy, don’t the US have any laws against that, wtf?!

        its your local govt, if not trump is doing it nationally. theres a reason cities are not giving pushback at all on the AI datacenters, until recently. they want to monitor people potentially threatening thier political elected positions.

        Government at all levels. Local government puts them around parks to stalk children, state government has them all over the highways, the bigger city governments have them at every traffic light, the federal government has them god knows where.

        That’s the scary part. We have no idea how deep the federal government is running this system and we don’t know if its combined with satellite imagery.

        It very likely is though. This country has become an enemy to its own people.
