No Kings Network Targets AI Data Centers & Flock Cameras
The short version: A Careers Drive video claims grassroots 'No Kings' activists are increasingly turning attention to AI data centers and Flock ALPR networks, reflecting growing public pushback on automated surveillance infrastructure.
Our Take
Careers Drive's video connects some dots that we've been watching too: the same energy fueling pushback against unchecked AI data center expansion is now flowing into scrutiny of Flock Safety's camera network. That's not a coincidence. Both fights are ultimately about who gets to build invisible infrastructure in your community without asking, and who profits from the data it hoovers up.
We can't verify every specific claim about organizational links the video raises, and we'd encourage viewers to treat those connections as reporting-in-progress rather than settled fact. But the broader trend is real and worth taking seriously: more everyday people are realizing that a camera on a pole reading every plate that passes is a policy decision, not a neutral utility, and policy decisions can be challenged at city council meetings, in procurement contracts, and at the ballot box.
Whatever your politics, if you want to know whether Flock-style readers are already clocking your street, check our camera map, and if you want to push back on a deployment near you, our take-action page has the tools to start.
