I Hate Flock Cameras I Hate AI Data Centers I dislike these Tech Companies.

Yeshua's Shadow · 1 month ago

The short version: A gut-level rant from creator Yeshua's Shadow links Flock cameras to AI data centers and tech-billionaire power, and the anger is understandable even if the details stay broad.

Our Take

Yeshua's Shadow isn't delivering a policy breakdown here — it's a raw, frustrated reaction to watching surveillance tech, AI infrastructure, and billionaire-owned platforms all seem to grow in the same direction at once. We're not going to pretend the video offers hard data or specific case studies, because it doesn't. But the underlying instinct — that something is deeply wrong when a handful of companies control the cameras watching your street, the servers crunching that data, and the algorithms deciding what matters — is exactly the instinct that built this site.

Flock Safety doesn't operate in a vacuum. Every plate scan gets stored, searched, and shared, often with little public oversight, and increasingly that data lives in the same corporate ecosystem as the AI boom this creator is also venting about. You don't need a citation to feel uneasy about that convergence. The anger in this video is a feeling a lot of Americans share even if they can't always point to the exact statute or vendor contract that caused it.

If you want to move past the gut reaction and into something actionable, start by checking our camera map to see what's already watching your town, then head to our take-action page for concrete steps — public records requests, city council scripts, and organizing tools — to push back on ALPR expansion before it becomes permanent infrastructure.
