This is the Peter Thiel world. Trump will die in his sleep of old age and one too many chicken nuggets, and Thiel’s puppet, Vance, will take over.
At which point all privacy will be off the table.
Peter is a danger to all of humanity.
All my commie friends should stop calling me a sovereign citizen wanna be for rolling without a plate now right?
the Flock employee described the sorts of information the company will supplement ALPR data with. The first is data breaches.
That illegal obtained data, so illegal to use. They just admit to crime?
A funny loophole. The person who stole the data did a crime.
Now that the data is public then it is free game because it is public information.
Windows XP sourcecode leaked 2020. Wine not touch it because illegal.
Same on nvidia leak by lapsus$.
Because the source code is copyrighted, the fact that userA has an email address userA@gmail.com isn't copyrighted and so companies can ingest that data into their databases.
We desperately need a law against the third party doctrine loophole for the 4th amendment.
We needed that when Snowden leaked, now the political will is gone and the average person just accepts it because they get free services in exchange for letting advertising companies and law enforcement live in their pocket.
I don’t think anyone accepts it. But nothing will be done about it until the capitalists are removed from power.
A tragical traffical tragedy. Flock off!
Death to alprs
Hasn't that already been a thing for a long time now?
Yes. Each state already has this data.
Yeah but private enterprise didn't. And if commercial, Leo can buy it without a warrant
Private enterprises can just buy the data from the state in most places.
Here's a map showing the locations of this corporation's existing readers: DeFlock.me
It's operated by a group of privacy advocates and educators to spread awareness. Flock tried to use a bogus trademark claim to interfere with the project.
