I had to double-check what Deflock was for:

DeFlock's mission is simple: to shine a light on the widespread use of ALPR technology, raise awareness about the threats it poses to personal privacy and civil liberties, and empower the public to take action.

This app makes it easy to view and report AI powered surveillance cameras, automatic license plate readers (ALPRs), and other surveillance infrastructure near you.

Sharing information about where cameras are located is terrorism now?

Careful! I think logic and questions are the new terrorist things to do! Oooo scarey!

Shit from the title I thought they were going around smashing the cameras and that it was an exaggeration, but I was clearly wrong on the scale

It's a surveillance company, stoking fears of terrorism is just good business, especially if it's not true
