Flock CEO house got leaked & turned to a public toilet

Jamxjamin · 1 day ago

The short version: A leaked home address for Flock Safety's CEO sparked online chaos, and YouTuber Jamxjamin covers the fallout from a company that profits off everyone else's location data.

Our Take

There's a bitter irony here that's hard to ignore. Flock Safety built a business model on hoovering up location data from millions of cars a day, then turns around and acts shocked when its own CEO's privacy gets violated. Creator Jamxjamin walks through how the exec's home address apparently got out and what followed online — we're not going to repeat the specifics or cheer on harassment, because doxxing and vandalism aren't accountability, they're just chaos that lets the company play victim.

The real story isn't one guy's mailbox. It's that a private surveillance vendor with cameras in thousands of towns has spent years insisting its tech is just a neutral tool for police, while regular people had zero say in whether a camera went up on their street. When the shoe is briefly on the other foot, suddenly privacy matters a lot more to the folks selling the surveillance than it ever did to the folks living under it.

If you want to actually do something productive with that frustration, skip the pitchforks and go look at our camera map to see what's tracking you in your own community, then hit up our take-action page for ways to push back through city councils and public records requests — the stuff that actually gets cameras torn down instead of just making headlines for a week.
