The problem is there’s already been a bunch of cases of misuse; officers looking up their ex’s info and location.
Plus, it’s been discovered that they also track the location and daily routine of anyone living nearby. So you really want such an insecure system knowing exactly where you are?
I get ur concern about bad cop abusing authorit, cops who stalk people using state databases should be fired and prosecuted, but there a major difference between boycotting a technology entirely and putting better safety measure on it. People dont ban police databases, dispatch systems, or traffic cameras just because a bad cop might misuse them. Boycotting Flock ignores how effective it is at solving realtime hit and runs, violent crimes, and stolen vehicle cases,
Plus, mass surveillance isn’t a problem for regular joes or working class people or non criminal, it’s a problem for the rich and powerful and criminal. I don’t know why we’re doing their dirty work by boycotting it.
mass surveillance isn’t a problem for regular joes
OK, why don’t you post your email and password here. While your at it, how bout your icloud or google storage accounts (or similar). You have nothing to hide, right? It shouldn’t be an issue for the masses here to surveil your accounts for you. You know, just to make sure your not doing anything shady.
i just dont value privacy to a point of hating system like flock, its for crime fighting and im not like important person, so why would i care if people know where i go and my routine, unless the goverment start robbing me than i might change my stand but i trust the goverment enough to not having problem with it
Mass surveillance a problem for the rich and powerful? What? You buy enough Trump coin and the president will pardon you. No biggie.
Meanwhile in a country that’s branding being against fascism as a crime or even terrorism you could have very serious consequences for just holding up the wrong poster at a demonstration.
Your arguments feel like you haven’t been watching the news for the last 15 years. In the past people would warn about mass surveillance and it always had a theoretical feel to it and was easy to dismiss. Then Snowden came along and then Trump II and shit has gotten very real.
