"Us" is the pedophiles running things, and "keeping us safe" means attacking their critics.

Sure, the compromise is we cut them down until you stop. Sound good to everyone else?

Little bitch is negotiating, and it's not even Halloween, yet.
Take your cameras down and maybe people don't want to destroy them. Good compromise, eh?
No quarter for flock cameras no compromise with surveillance tech ceos
I propose this compromise:
- No surveillance, at all.
- Flock rebrands to the shitty SaaS startup its name suggested it to be. I want to see the YouTube ads for "IrfanView, but paid and is a 500+MB chromium app"!
On the right, three House Republicans recently introduced a bill that would prohibit the federal government from purchasing automated surveillance systems that use facial recognition, biometric IDs, or license plate recognition, “including a Flock Safety camera.”
Really? Wow. Okay, when you lose Republicans (well, some Republicans), you KNOW you've gone too far. Damn.

I AGREE! There IS common Ground between allowing the Epstein Class to SPY ON CHILDREN and the People who think CHILD RAPISTS Spying on Children is WRONG! Maybe just a COUPLE MILLION of Taxpayer Dollars to Spy on Children as a Treat?
-Centrists!
No, fuck off.
there's no compromise - take down ALL the fucking surveillance crap and take it down NOW.
Yeah, no, the interpretations of the 4th amendment that led to these things being legal were clearly made in an era where they relied on the high cost of surveillance to minimize the amount there is. A reasonable modern day interpretation of the 4th should ban these
They're not even watching traffic though...
Langley needs to find a compromise between living and getting Luigi'd.
I drove my company at the wall. Dearest wall, give me a compromise, pretty please?

That's how you know the reasons behind flock is nefarious, when they have to scale back what they're doing because of how blatantly obvious the overreach and invasion of privacy.

ok.
we'll continue ripping down your shitty products and you can just shut the fuck up.
see, isn't that a nice compromise?
Not an inch ! Not a mm!
The only compromise we want to see is the structural kind.
I call for something else lol.
My suggestion for compromise would be to bring back tar and feathering

You have both by not having you around, asshole.
Die, Flock. The company would not be missed.
the compromise could be that they should take their own cameras down then do door to door petitions on who actually wants them.
My privacy and freedom are invaluable to me, I don't give 2 shits about some CEOs profits. He can go rot in a ditch for all I care.
