Flock is a new AI company hoping to eliminate crime by... #Shorts #newspeakmedia

Our Take

A channel literally named after Orwell's fictional language of thought control turning its lens on Flock Safety feels almost too on the nose — and that's exactly the point. Newspeak Media's short format doesn't leave room for deep dives, but the setup alone (an 'AI company hoping to eliminate crime') is doing a lot of quiet work, letting the absurdity of that promise speak for itself before the punchline even lands.

We've said it before: no camera network has ever eliminated crime, but plenty have normalized the idea that every car on every street deserves to be logged, timestamped, and run through a database. That's the real product Flock is selling, and it's worth remembering every time a city council hears the word 'AI' and starts nodding along without asking who's watching the watchers.

Shorts like this one are useful precisely because they're bite-sized — easy to share with a neighbor who's never heard of ALPRs before. If this is your first stop, check our map to see what's already watching your block, and head to take action if you'd rather not wait for the next 'AI company' to explain your own street back to you.
