Dont forget that Flock and similar tech is being applied in parking lots and grocery stores. Companies are employing surveillance tech alongside the police. Dont forget our for-profit prison systems are in need of more inmates to make their shareholders money. Dont forget, we are talking about you.
Companies like Flock Safety “want police to collect as much information on everyone as possible because they make money off that,” EFF’s Dave Maass told New Mexico’s @KOB4. “We continually find people abusing the data.” www.kob.com/new-mexico/...

If you're going to post your political opinions then you should be open to those testing your world views mettle by opening up your replies to the market of ideas. Otherwise the only thing you've developed is a glass house, an echo chamber, a hugbox of narrative that breaks at the slightest tap.

Starting to see sentiment turn rational, and centrist turn leftist in a single day. Turns out tragedy can demand change that is impossible to ignore, and suddenly, your worldview is governed by morality and empathy. Not selfishness and greed. ICE woke so many people up with their actions.

Texas Police Invested Millions in a Shadowy Phone-Tracking Software. They Won’t Say How They’ve Used It.
One sheriff who leads an anti-smuggling task force says the software helps “develop leads to eventually obtain probable cause.” Civil liberties experts say its use violates constitutional rights.

Yeah, a bunch of idiots managed to convince themselves she was as bad as Trump, and that’s why we’re here. My favorite? Maybe the billionaire minimum tax. Or the corporate tax increase. Or the inheritance tax. Or the Obamacare expansion, or the housing credits. Hope you weren’t waiting long

The only thing protecting our data at this point is some misconfigured firewall and GPOs. Granted that data was given up to Palantir long ago so the point is moot. We are going to end up with another virus that shuts down our electrical grid. Just wait.

Stop scrolling. This video is terrifying. A DoorDasher runs into a random home while ICE chases them. No warrant shown. No warning. ‼️ Just panic and survival caught on camera.
