Flock CEO Labels Privacy Defenders As “Terrorists”!
The short version: Jimmy Dore's show (guest host Misty Winston) reports Flock's CEO allegedly branded privacy advocates 'terrorists,' underscoring how aggressively the company polices criticism of its spreading camera network.
Our Take
When a surveillance company's CEO reportedly reaches for words like "terrorist organization" to describe people who simply map where cameras are, that tells you more about the company's anxiety than about the critics. Misty Winston, guest-hosting for Jimmy Dore, lays out how Flock Safety has gone from a scattering of dots on a map to near-total coverage across the country in roughly two years — and how the company has had to walk back claims about partnerships, including a public correction from the ACLU. That pattern of overstatement, followed by pushback, followed by name-calling, is worth paying attention to.
We're an independent, volunteer-run project. We don't need Flock's cooperation to document their hardware, and we're not going anywhere because an executive doesn't like being tracked the way they track the public. If a company's answer to transparency is to smear the people asking questions, that's a signal the questions are landing.
If this video makes you want to know what's actually watching your street, check our camera map and start verifying for yourself. And if you want to push back locally — at a city council meeting, a town hall, or just a conversation with a neighbor — our take-action resources are built for exactly that.
