I worry that Flock is going to take the fall, and some other bad actor with political connections (my money would be on Palantir) will just quietly pick up where they left off while everyone's patting themselves on the back for defeating Flock.

The stuff Flock is doing is going to be standard AI-driven surveillance in the future, and unless the actual practices are made into political third rails and made into criminal code violations, they will absolutely be legalized on some party line vote in the middle of the night.

Too many people think doxxing is the answer, because you aren't getting your way.

If you want violence, you better be prepared for it. You just can't complain when someone doesn't like what you are doing and comes right to your door.
