I agree, this is stalking.

But again, this is not what Flock is doing.

By this same logic, traffic cameras and CCTV surveillance are "stalking", which doesn't seem accurate?

The idea that a single CCTV feed is at all comparable to aggregatable Flock data is a deeply unserious position. I’m not clear why you think you can pretend that single cameras and a network of cameras are either similar or comparable, in this context? Or why traffic cameras aren’t essentially identical, if they’re used identically?

I’d like to give the benefit of the doubt, but it feels very sea-liony and intentionally disingenuous.
