“When people understand that Flock data can be used to track them exercising reproductive freedom or to facilitate federal immigration enforcement, the calculus around ‘public safety’ technology changes entirely,” EFF’s @tsnvaa.bsky.social told @ArsTechnica.com. arstechnica.com/tech-policy...

Newly obtained documents confirm what law enforcement and Flock Safety tried to deny: A Texas sheriff’s office used license plate readers while investigating a woman’s self-managed abortion, not to find a “missing person." www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

“Communities are recognizing the threat that these vehicular surveillance systems pose and they are saying no, and that no is contagious,” EFF’s @tsnvaa.bsky.social told @thedailynu.bsky.social. dailynorthwestern.com/2025/09/28/...

EFF's @tsnvaa.bsky.social will be sharing the history of Flock in the U.S. and the growing risks and concerns with the technology at this teach-in for the Denver community on 7/15 from 6-8pm MT. You can join online at bit.ly/FLOCKteachin.

Flock Safety says it’s fixing its tech. But its feature updates do little to fix their mass surveillance model.

Victory! Austin's ALPR contract will be allowed to end by our city council at the end of the month. The battle is won, but the fight continues. Join us and other activist groups for a victory press release tomorrow at 11:30am at city hall!

Join us at Austin City Hall tomorrow for a press conference and on Thursday at the city council meeting to urge council members to REJECT our ALPR program, Item #67 (Against). These tools of mass surveillance can be stopped if YOU speak up. services.austintexas.gov/edims/docume...
