Flock's CEO Blurred His House. Then Users Marked It "Public Toilet."
The short version: Flock CEO Garrett Langley blurred his own home online, so internet users retaliated by flagging it a "Public Toilet" — a fitting joke about surveillance hypocrisy, per The Angry Otter.
Our Take
There's a special kind of irony in watching the man who built an $8.3 billion empire out of photographing Americans' license plates roughly a billion times a month suddenly get squeamish about his own front door being visible online. According to The Angry Otter's latest video, Garrett Langley blurred his house — and the internet responded the way the internet always does: by mass-labeling it a "Public Toilet." Petty? Sure. Deserved? Also sure.
This isn't really about one guy's address. It's about the gap between how Flock's leadership treats their own privacy and how they treat yours. Flock built a nationwide network of cameras that track where you drive, when, and how often — all without your consent and often without your knowledge. But the second the tables turn and someone points a camera (or a map pin) at the CEO, suddenly privacy matters. Funny how that works.
