Flock: automating the police state panopticon one highly sensitive location at a time
FACT CHECK
The previous post is a lie: they are not, in fact, doing it just one location at a time. They’re doing whole massive batches of locations at once.

Flock: automating the police state panopticon one highly sensitive location at a time
@inthehands living in a part of the US where there is only a single flock/ALPR camera within an hour and a half of me (and it’s a highway toll booth), whatever the rest of the country is doing is befuddling.
Dudes, what if I told you that you can just … not?

@inthehands It's just so on point that a lot of people seem to be furious that Flock used the footage in advertising and *not* that there's cameras watching kids doing gymnastics in the first place.
Like, what Flock did is abhorrent, so why build and install machines that enable that behavior?

@inthehands Like, I am begging fellow progressives to not think about technology in terms of "this company did a bad thing" but in terms of "what power structures are we building, and what will companies do with them once we build them?"

@xgranade
I don’t think it’s advertising specifically that is a red line. I take the point of the article to be that its presence in advertising is an indicator of careless treatment of data in general. A lot of people struggle to understand that capabilities •will• be abused; they need a concrete example, concrete evidence of specific abuse in each specific case. -

@xgranade @inthehands and "what will this thing that I intend for good be used for when the bad guys get hold of it?"

@xgranade @inthehands This is the problem with remotely disabling tractors stolen from Ukraine by the Russians. It's not unwelcome under those exact circumstances, but it's a TERRIBLE idea to allow a company to shut down agricultural equipment like this in general.
