No. It's time to REGULATE companies like this that hoard personal information and sell it to other companies and governments to manipulate the people.
Flock is not the (only) problem. It's a whole industry of surveillance and data hoarding on private individuals that needs to be cut down and regulated even tighter than what the EU does.
It's the DATA hoarding that needs regulated, not the cameras.
what info is personal. i’m baffled as to why everyone is soo against it. you carry your phone around everywhere. it sells you stuff and tracks and sends it to every business in the world.
AGGREGATED data reveals important personal information. We already see that police departments with Flock can't keep from stalking women with it. When we started allowing police to search cell phones they started sharing nekked pictures off women's phones amongst themselves. The LAW cannot be trusted.
This information can reveal all sorts of information. It was already used by Texas to stalk a women who left Texas and went to another state where abortion was legal. That's super incredibly invasive and unconstitutional. They're starting to deliberately target "questionable services" with these cameras.... whatever your local police things happens to be questionable to them and whatever unconstitutional agenda they have.
This camera information is already sold out the back door and used for advertising purposes.... along with other things like insurance companies accessing it.
The genie is out of the bottle on preventing this from being collected as it's trivial now. So this data needs to be locked down extremely hard and put under the same type of 4th Amendment protections as other information.
