a source from the company itself is not a valid source. it's like saying that Germany is now a USA state because Trump posted it on his truth social.

are you that fucking stupid? wait don't answer that... I know it's a very disappointing "YES".

    It's not people who were directly found using them, but how many cases the law enforcement actually searched flock data. Whether or not that data actually caused the law enforcement to find anyone is going to be hard to actually track.
