Flock has migrated their domain to Cloudflare and have also enabled VERY aggressive rate limiting, IP banning, and security challenges. All of this together means I must use an expensive rotating proxy just to update the site.

NEW: Senator @wyden.senate.gov says AI-camera company Flock is violating federal law by not enforcing multi-factor authentication. 404 Media previously found Flock credentials included in infostealer infections.

Flock Safety audit logs obtained and analyzed by EFF reveal that law enforcement agencies across the US have used language perpetuating harmful stereotypes against Romani people when searching the nationwide ALPR network. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

The Flock source added “Even if Flock took a stance on permitted use-cases, a motivated user could simply lie about why they're performing a search. We can never 100% know how or why our tools are being used.” Superb journalism once again by 404 Media!

We leverage the incredibly useful Eyes on Flock dashboard quite a bit. It aggregates Flock data from law enforcement agencies across the US based on their transparency portals. eyesonflock.com @eyesonflock.com

What could go wrong.

New from me: Filings from a Virginia lawsuit offer a rare insight into how often Flock automatic license plate readers track people going about their daily lives: Multiple times a day, and hundreds over a period of a few months this year.

People are talking past each other in a really ugly way about data sharing, and as someone who has both written terms of service for large-scale digital platforms, and built infrastructure for gathering data for campaigns, it's important to understand the context of threats people are speaking to…

The latest example of the revolving door of public officials and police who move to work for private surveillance companies. "At Flock, he will lead public affairs for the eastern U.S., working with local governments that use the company’s technology." signalcleveland.org/cleveland-ci...

Did you know? Flock Safety, a private company, tracks the movements of nearly every American with over 90,000 AI-assisted cameras marketed as ALPRs. Your historical location data is shared and searched by law enforcement across jurisdictions without a warrant or probable cause. eyesonflock.com
