Flock CEO calls for ‘compromise’ as surveillance company faces growing backlash | TechCrunch
Flock Safety faces a growing public outcry over concerns that its surveillance technology could be misused.
Okay, here‘s a compromise for him: he shuts down his company and refunds everything that was paid with tax money (with interest) and he can keep his head.
Hmm, that seems like he still wins though… I think that would be letting him off easy!
I said he can keep it. No promises about it staying attached.
Excellent.
No one should compromise with people who have hundreds of millions of dollars.
the compromise is paying me a cut of your profits every time I show up in your footage. You want to monetize my body, my car, and my behaviors? I want fair compensation. Or, you know, you could keep having your cameras cut down and vandalized
“I’ll maybe hurt you a little less, and I’ll keep doing the bad thing” isn’t a compromise; a compromise has to benefit both sides, and not being harmed is just the default expectation, not a benefit.
Sorry there bud, but in the simplest terms I can muster: You reap what you sow.
When I’m sowing 😀
When I’m reaping 😩
Compromise will happen when the last flock camera is finally removed.
A pair of Flocks became cut down in my neighborhood and the local news aired the sticker left on one that said ‘Get wrecked ya surveilling fucks’ uncensored. I want more of this energy.
