Flock CEO says drones are its fastest-growing business as it expands beyond license plate cameras

TLDR: Flock is moving beyond fixed roadside cameras, into drone surveilance.

With a fixed camera, you might be able to alter your travels to avoid it. In practice that is hard due to how many there are. But you can try. A drone can be anywhere. You prob won't even know it is present most of the time. You cannot change your routes to avoid it.

We now know that Flock does not log only plates. It also IDs pedestrians and cyclists, ppl on scooters or skateboards. It seeks to build a complete picture of the movements of a whole population.

Yeah but why is it profitable? Their only customer base are other evil people. And in my experience, only a small percentage of people are evil. Yet they control so much.

a customer base of the richest people on the planet and, yes, there's only a small number of them. so small in fact that it's possible for us to overpower them.

It is profitable because we allowed rich people to become richer and now they're spending their hard earned money and political power on a surveillance state.

“Fastest growing” is such a BS business-brained fake metric. This could mean they went from selling two drones to selling 20 drones, a 10x growth!

  • 100% drones imported from China and reprogrammed (his business will die the moment there will open competition)

One day we'll all be like the kokiri with our own personal drone fairy to spy on every little thing we do and say and think for our corpo techno overlords
