Everyone saw this coming but it's terrifying to watch it become a reality.

It's a little weird to see them celebrating the surveillance state that they are creating. A system like this is wide open for abuse.

It is abuse.

I'm shocked, I tell you! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

Ring: Fuck it, we Flock now.

There’s so Roko’s Basalisk shit going on with fascism like this.

If we build the surveillance state, surely we’ll be the ones to benefit from it. And if we don’t we’ll be punished by the people who do.

Who could’ve predicted this?! Except literally everyone

They’re competing for government contracts and tax payer money, right?

Duh

No shit.

Have any members of congress or state legislatures begun proposing bills to make this sort of surveillance system illegal?

Funny enough they actually just recently ended their partnership with flock, possibly hinting that they're looking to compete with them.
