There’s actually a lot of political solidarity about mass surveillance. Go to the grimiest YouTube comment section and you’ll see the same kind of vitriol against Palantir et al that you would here.

They just think it serves the globalhomo socialist cabal trying to take over the US and not the fascist coup that already has taken over the US.

“X company has annoucned new safeguards to _______ (common sense concerns anyone not trying to speedrun Demolition Man would have forseen).”

Do they not realize this makes them confirmed to be so much worse than the average person thinks and exactly what everyone who hates them despises? They don’t give a fuck about the rights of anyone they are violating and never have from the start which is why any of this could happen to begin with.

Fuck Flock.

A lot of CEOs should be hanged.

This is the town that put up a speed camera on the highway around 2012 and someone took a shotgun to it. The authorities fixed the camera and someone shot it again.

Traditional conservatives don’t like it, the problem is that most of the parties that call themselves conservative or liberal (in US terminology or the equivalent terms in other countries) are actually all just right wing authoritarian parties with slightly different tactics to convince people to support them. Authoritarianism needs to control the narratives and to do that have an easy way to crack down on dissenters. Heck the term “rednecks” used to originally refer to left wing, labor rights activists. They just got manipulated into becoming sheep for the far right using single issue politics.

I dream of a hack that puts Fock’s CEO whereabout at all time using Flock cameras.

Got my vote.

man talking sense right here

For fucks sake… don’t scapegoat this 1 person.

Every township, every county, and every state government is enabling it. Flock just doesn’t go around putting up cameras for charity. They are doing it because your governments are paying them for it.

Dick first.

I concur

Not wrong you know

There’s a prison nearby.

There are not flock cameras outside the prison or anywhere near it.

That should tell you everything you need to know.

this framing is so stupid to me

An East Tennessee county commissioner sparked controversy after suggesting during a public workshop that Flock CEO Garret Langley should be hanged for treason.

Excuse me? The real controversy is the nation-wide surveillance network used to track everyone’s movements. The commissioner’s response seems to be very measured in light of that fact.

I mean jail for everyone involved in this “illegal national spy program” makes more sense (because we’re not barbarians, mostly) but if people go the rope-tree-traitor route i would say they probably want me on their jury.

Good, let’s hang him. Town square, all that dumb old town shit dumb ass conservatives miss despite never having.

Honestly, I have the impression that only death and high taxes can fix the problems we have with our overlords.

Even right wingers like this dude don’t want authoritarian surveillance bs

There’s long been a hypocrisy with the right where they’re all about civil liberties and privacy for themselves and authoritarian surveillance for everyone else.

absolutely yes, the sooner the better
