    And just think, with Flock we’re willingly giving data to the government. Can you imagine if they redid Enemy of the State with Will Smith? Hell, it can be released as is and not be hypothetical.

      Better yet, we’re willing to give our data to corporations, who have no loyalty…except to profits.

        It’s not always willingly. I can’t give consent to ring to use my data when I walk my dog. I can’t give my consent to flock when I drive around. We judge China for their surveillance state and yet we have far more data centers in America fueling surveillance.

    In WW2 the Brits went out of their way to “leak” completely plausible reasons why they knew everything about German plans. It was a big effort, all meant to put the Germans at ease and mask the real reason: they had broken the German encryption and had their codebooks.

    I’m saying that if “traffic cameras” are revealed as the reason, you can be sure they have other, way better, channels for such information.

    I feel like this is just propaganda to make Israel seem all powerful when they probably just had someone on the inside.
