Okay. The compromise is you shut down all this creepy surveillance and hand over your company and you don't immediately go to prison for privacy violations

the compromise is prison instead of guillotine
The compromise is that Langley can go free, but he will be followed and tracked by his own surveillance tech 24/7, which anyone will be able to watch at any time.
No surveillance tech, he just has to hire people at scale to make his entire life into the Truman Show.
That works!
Capitalists famously call for compromise when they're not facing existential resistance from the proletarian class. Time to give up on deflocking teehee
I know it's lib shit, but Benjamin Franklin is supposed to have said, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." Like idgaf about what the founders had to say, but aren't these assholes supposed to? I guess the american civic religion programming is finally good for something though, because by and large the people seem to agree as far as knocking down the surveillance apparatus goes
I don't understand why you'd want to compromise. What the fuck do you care? Don't you have the regime on your side? You picked your side. There's no trust left in the institutions of America and you're trying to find some? While making life worse and being unpopular?
What? Did Flock x Mamdani fall through?
Porky is scared
Sounds great my dude. Now face the wall.
There has to be a more efficient way to give people free solar panels
They're fucking called FLOCK. CAMERAS. The people writing the script for the Reality TV Show we're in gave up seasons ago.
?
As they see us as SHEEP
ahh, Thanks. Hadn't occurred to me, I guess I go to birds before sheep when I hear "flock"
They can track a woman crossing states for reproductive rights; cops will have a man buying marijuana and traveling back to his dry state, dead to rights. Nobody wants this, except for the fascists creeps currently in power.
I fear what a competent fascist state would be able to get away with. If i was them, i would be touting every petty theft solved within 24 hrs thanks to Flock.
Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions...
Don't forget that Axon, Genetec, and Motorola are also deploying the same thing nationwide while largely flying under the radar.
Yeah flock is probably gonna be the sin eater or lightning rod for any social energy that culminates against surveillance. It'll get dismantled as a "concession", while the whole of the survellance apparatus trucks on unabated.
Your neck 
Your cameras.
Dude's name for overarching survalience is fucking Langley 
comic book shit.
actionable call for violence
"We're at an impasse here, maybe we can compromise.
"You open up the door, and we'll all come on in and [take] your [g]ains!"
