As Benn Jordan has already pointed out to Congress directly, this isn't just a Flock problem. It's a problem with a complete lack of basic cybersecurity protocols for these devices.
If we ban just Flock, then the problem will migrate to other companies.
the problem is already migrating to other companies. in some places flock cameras are being replaced by the exact same shit run by another company.
Because a big problem with this Anti-AI/Anti-Invasion Camera movement, is to focus on one companies name rather than on the rights violations themselves.
It looks like they're banning the tech, not the company
