TLDR: Flock is moving beyond fixed roadside cameras, into drone surveilance.
With a fixed camera, you might be able to alter your travels to avoid it. In practice that is hard due to how many there are. But you can try. A drone can be anywhere. You prob won’t even know it is present most of the time. You cannot change your routes to avoid it.
We now know that Flock does not log only plates. It also IDs pedestrians and cyclists, ppl on scooters or skateboards. It seeks to build a complete picture of the movements of a whole population.
capitalism rewards psychopathic behavior so long as it’s profitable.
No, humans are idiots. Hurr durr da ciztoom la evul durr is literally the most sub zero iq take.
Yeah but why is it profitable? Their only customer base are other evil people. And in my experience, only a small percentage of people are evil. Yet they control so much.
It is profitable because we allowed rich people to become richer and now they’re spending their hard earned money and political power on a surveillance state.
a customer base of the richest people on the planet and, yes, there’s only a small number of them. so small in fact that it’s possible for us to overpower them.
because fascism is what happens when profits are threatened. and cameras and drones are a useful thing for fascism to have.
