None of these morons believed it would happen to them or the people they loved.

Coming soon to the US!

Of course they are. Same racist play as the one they ran against Obama.

Dude is an American kid, and his parents came here to study medicine. He was captain of the football team. And he got good grades, graduated with honors, and like mom and dad, got into medicine.

Only “problem” is that his parents never named him John or Mike.

Yeah, Flock’s PR has been pretty bad. I don’t know who is leading their media strategy there, but they’re clearly doing some rookie stuff like calling opponents terrorists and whatnot.

Agreed. This could be a slippery slope. That said, I don’t know how the network and local data governance systems work. It could be designed in a way that makes a national network difficult.

That said, I’m not a fan of surveillance cameras everywhere. It’s too hard to know what is happening behind the scenes.

Oh, it’s 100% a marketing strategy now.

My guess is that they simply didn’t have their shit together to build out a national network, and product development incompetence accidentally created a desirable “feature.”

Maybe.

I was poking around to read about this, and it looks like Axon is leaning into this. Flock used to brag about Axon lacking in this capability, now Axon brags about being local-only.

But who knows, maybe they become a market leader and the feds push them to develop a national network in the future.

For those who read the headline and not the article.

The big difference between Flock and Axon is the scope of the network. Flock can operate on a national scale. Axon doesn’t have that capability. It only works at a local jurisdiction level.

I wonder if this is a feature gap that accidentally turned into a differentiator for Axon. Flock has bragged about Axon not having a national network. Now the tables are turning.

Their platform lacks some big capabilities that the feds / ICE like to exploit. Most importantly, a national network. It’s all local.

Still creepy surveillance, but Flock is much worse.

Axon, simply, does not have a national network. Meaning that it would not be possible for cops in one jurisdiction to search cameras across the country.

There’s certainly more responsible ways of going about this.

Maybe, but we’re talking about Tennessee

This is what happens when Fox is basically the default news channel in your town. All you hear is Trump blaming Biden.

You rarely hear the truth. 1) The Iran war raised the price of oil and fertilizer. 2) Tariffs are paid by you, not them. 3) Undocumented migrants are the low-paid labor for the ag industry, and Trump is deporting them.

No sane person would do this shit if they wanted to make groceries cheap.

It’s more of a tool than a law.

The right to delete and edit PII is already covered in older laws like CCPA / CPRA.

This act funded the creation of a central portal that allows people to easily make deletion requests (DSAR). Previously you needed to file these with a company individually, or you needed to pay for a service to auto-file DSARs for you.

What’s so civil about war anyway.

IMHO, the easiest response to the “state rights” lie is to link people to the ordinances of cause and declarations of secession that states drafted before they peaced out.

They all immediately say that this is about slaves and a lot have fun language about black people being inferior or well suited for picking crops.

It’s in writing, clear as day, in the documents they used to secede. If you believe the “states rights” cause, you clearly haven’t listened to what those southern leaders were saying at the time. You’re probably just being fed cherry picked snippets that support a false narrative.

Antichrist at home

Honestly, with lab grown diamonds disrupting the market, keeping money in gems seems dumb as fuck in 2026. Get rid of that shit while you can.

Employers should have to give you paid time off for it

I can confirm. I am from space.

What about the research about it causing depression?
