It's a little weird to see them celebrating the surveillance state that they are creating. A system like this is wide open for abuse.

It is abuse.

There’s so Roko’s Basalisk shit going on with fascism like this.

If we build the surveillance state, surely we’ll be the ones to benefit from it. And if we don’t we’ll be punished by the people who do.

False. You’ll be punished anyways.

Funny enough they actually just recently ended their partnership with flock, possibly hinting that they're looking to compete with them.

I'm shocked, I tell you! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

They’re competing for government contracts and tax payer money, right?

Have any members of congress or state legislatures begun proposing bills to make this sort of surveillance system illegal?
