Data collected by the Washington Examiner shows
Here's the missing link to said Washington Examiner article:
"washington examiner"
Oh, no thanks.
Here we go with the Townflex shit again.
Great start! Make no mistake that they will use other surveillance companies or even return to flock if the controversy dies down.
If you're in one of these cities, schedule an email to your councilperson to send in a few weeks about it. Remind them we don't want any other surveillance on your streets. (Maybe a calendar reminder for you too, to check and see what nonsense they've gotten to.)
Yeah they’re given their contract to an other company
This is a win. Now, if your city did this: Set a calendar remainder (scheduled email, alarm, I don't care what) for in 2 months to check that your city doesn't return to Flock or one of their competitors. Demand real reduction of surveillance.
I am begging lemmy to learn how to take a win.
How to take a win:
- actually win first
Having a win doesn’t mean you’re done fighting forever. That is called winning the war.
Shitting on every win sure does a great job of discouraging future action, though.
This looks like an archived link to the front page of Gizmodo? I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be seeing here.

There are a LOT of right-wing agents on reddit and lemmy both posing as leftists. Their goal is to get American leftists to demand perfection or nothing, resulting in them spending their efforts trying to get others to vote third party instead of voting Democratic, which is the only way to mitigate the damage being done right now.
We can vote for leftists in the primaries, but we have to vote Dem in the general election, even if the candidates aren't our first choice.
The absolutists here have trouble accepting positive things in this grey world at live in

So, we've proved that we can put pressure on Flock. Now let's put pressure on this other company.
Axon is the one, me thinks they will try to hide it better this time.
Yeah, they will try. People will have to be more clever.
They don't have a national network yet at least
How can I get started making this an issue with my city council?
Step 1: build a guillotine.
Step 2: bring it to a town hall.
That might make me a bigger issue than I want to be right away 😂 but I love their enthusiasm!
Gadget Review gets articles out at an impossible frequency and often simply recycles other sources. Yahoo News is a feed reader that only displays news from other websites (while obscuring source information that could be gleaned from URLs), whose identity it displays at the top of each article (in this case, Gadget Review).
You people are relentless, except on Democrats being your savior.
Whoops, just checked your profile, didn't realize that's what your account's purpose. My b, g.
Since I'm not sure what this means, I must have not be clear enough; apologies. Gadget Review's articles (one of which is your link) are very likely to be AI-generated.
- Until this summer, the frontpage showed articles being published on average every ten minutes: https://web.archive.org/web/20260326105948/https://www.gadgetreview.com/
- Over-hypey phrases as headings: "The Only Fix That Sticks", "You Can’t Just Hardcode Safety Into a Probability Machine"
- Characteristic bolding
- Unexpected bulleted lists in every article
- Overuse of spaced em-dashes
- Familiar sentence structures:
Flock's brand is damaged. Axon is winning contracts. The underlying infrastructure — persistent, automated tracking of where every car travels — keeps running, like a streaming service that changes its name while keeping the same content library.
Non-deterministic models resist fixed rules, so the answer is containment and monitoring — not commandments.
Axon
will people catch on to axon cameras like they do with flock? lets hope so.
Yes, I got you, please accept my apologies. I just picked a free version at random.
