I'm so bored of YouTubers examining other YouTubers and then removing context to create controversy. 1. His channel frames up contemporary news on a weekly basis. He's not publishing sci-fi novels. 2. Find me a Patrick Boyle video in the last 3 years that doesn't consistently credit sources.

Right now, on both sides of the ALPR/Flock debate, companies and legislators are urging researchers and policy-writers to pump out papers they can point to. I'm asking CrimRxiv to increase their publishing standards on incomplete studies. www.bennjordan.com/blog/researc...

An open letter to crimrxiv — Benn Jordan

At this point, virtually anyone working in the research field can merely glance at Flock’s original white paper and know that there’s not a grain of salt large enough to take it with. For starters,...

It would've been easy to bash Flock in Senate today, but the reality is that this crisis would've not happened had there been any form of regulation or guard rails. So, let's demand them. And let's vote with the same ferocity we post with.

Axon is a profitable company with a strong cash flow. They may clear $4 billion this year. So it was surprising to read about their plan to borrow a billion dollars via convertible equity that matures in 2031. The only sensible reason for this would be a big acquisition. 🫠

Last May, after Asheville's city council voted to ignore community privacy concerns and signed contracts with surveillance vendors, I got an email from @kimroney.bsky.social , the sole dissenting council member. I can't express how it felt to see democracy in action last night.

Snoop used to be a sex trafficker. Not hyperbolically, but literally. He's trafficked women both before and during his rap career, and he'd openly brag about it up until the #metoo movement. Am I supposed to be disappointed in him for cozying up to Trump? www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Flock takes their privacy very seriously. But the ethical gray area in surveillance technology works both ways. Under no circumstances should elected officials or public servants enjoy an expectation of privacy when spending tax dollars to attend a surveillance lobbying event.

People who whine about that video without having actually watched it are so odd. It describes leverage as a vehicle to cozy up to contemporary Marxism. My literal final conclusion is: "Capitalism's flaw is a very abstract one; It robs us of the ability to prioritize the appreciation of living."

Flock routinely rewards themselves for being the most transparent company in the industry. Last week they banned ticket-holding journalists from their Flock Forward event. Then, they quite literally had an employee contact a hotel on my behalf and cancel my room reservation.

1. Weird how it's the end of summer and we never got to see that report. 2. A large city's police department has asked me to help them demonstrate our "claims" later this month. If the vulnerabilities are still present, I'll make sure to gift wrap the evidence.

Opposing government surveillance is a foundational American principle. The next elections aren't red vs blue, it could be your last chance to regain privacy and autonomy.
