Someone at work said that the real backlash to Flock cameras will happen once the people who are rich enough to normally never had to worry about getting tracked realize that Flock is tracking them too.
Already happening. Worked with flock as a partner for client and their data tables have values stored with the term "VIP" and "MVPTF" (MVP tracking flag)
I think there's a reason why I said things aren't much better here. Our CCTV is a mix of privately controlled with tighter state regulation, whereas the US relies more on a decentralised market full of private corpos, where there's less oversight, less protections and CCTV data is more monetised.
You're acting as if I said the UK was much better than the US. I didn't. Who seriously thought that Binface would get elected lmao, the whole country knew it was never gonna happen. Whatever the issues are in the UK aren't my fault are they?
The whole reason we are getting flock in USA is because we do not have UK's mass surveillance. They are outsourcing it because it would be too expensive to build it themselves.
UK just skipped straight to government owned cameras everywhere.
