The country needs to find a “compromise” between privacy and safety, according to Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley.

“When people talk about just one of these, privacy or safety, they’re prioritizing the wrong thing, and what we have to prioritize as a country is compromise,” Langley said during a recent interview with Fox News. “How do we have our safety, and how do we balance privacy?”

Hey buddy, you didn't ask us about shit before you started installing your creepy cameras to monitor us everywhere, so you can go ahead and fuck off now.

You don't negotiate with terrorists, Nazis, or billionaires.

The comprise is for the flock ceo to commit suicide with a shotgun

We don't need to find shit. They need to go away before their heads start to resemble their cut down cameras.

Tired of this.

Ok. You spend the rest of your life in jail, and your immediate and extended family can live.

They won't be rich. They will be held accountable if they broke the law as well.

Or we can exterminate 50-100k people to give justice to billions.

Either option is acceptable to me.

Safety from what Langley? What are the cameras keeping us safe from?

[–] chillpanzee@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago

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

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.

The rich will never feel save while we, their victims, have privacy.

They know better than even we do how much reason we have to be plotting against them.

Correct, "safety" compromises our privacy. Now you're getting it, captain shithead CEO! So with that in mind, there is no way we can accept these cameras.

[–] Folstar@lemmus.org 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I agree. Our starting position is all flock cameras should be taken down and then shoved up Garrett Langley's ass. Every single one of them.

Now let us come to the table and find a compromise.

[–] KulunkelBoom@lemmus.org 7 points 1 day ago

there's no compromise - take down ALL the fucking surveillance crap and take it down NOW.

[–] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Need to expand from pulling down camera to pulling down Flock buildings, manufacturing sites, etc.

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

the compromise could be that they should take their own cameras down then do door to door petitions on who actually wants them.

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!

Langley needs to find a compromise between living and getting Luigi'd.
