Most local groups are targeting Flock’s contracts with their city. If successful, that’ll ideally get cameras turned off on the streets…but not private business parking lots. Tackling this dangerous surveillance threat has to come from all angles. Get our toolkit + join us! www.deflocklowes.com

BREAKNG: Meta announces it will invest $1 billion in US cities and towns where it operates and is building AI data centers. That sum pales in comparison to the $600 billion Meta plans to spend on data centers through 2028. The company already has 160 data centers planned or under construction.

In the foreground, a person is sitting, focused on their mobile device while holding it in one hand. The person is dressed in a black jacket and a red shirt with visible sleeves, with their other hand resting beside them. Beside the person, there's a backpack adorned with a colorful cartoon character pattern, primarily in blue, pink, and red. The text on the image is presented in various styles: larger, bold text at the top states, "The notorious Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) passed out of the House in a rushed vote - But this bill is not yet law..." Below this, a smaller font conveys, "Kids online safety package clears House, drawing warnings from digital rights and tech groups."The image features a vibrant pink background. The text on the image  states, "legislators are shifting, fear-mongering "kids safety" arguments are losing their grip, and it's because of people like you who are refusing censorship" Below this, is a squiggly arrow point right.
