People see their communities "have turned into a mass surveillance system, where everywhere you drive, the cameras are increasingly popping up and indiscriminately collecting data and images of people, regardless of whether or not you're under suspicion,” EFF’s @lisafemia.bsky.social told @WUSF.org.

Here’s why people are concerned about Flock cameras and other public surveillance tools
They're used by law enforcement agencies, private companies and municipalities and are being installed in Florida and across the country at a rapid pace.

Yes, AI is in a trust crisis because the tech hasn’t delivered on its positive promises. But that’s not the only reason! The means we use to get to an end matter too and the means AI companies have used so far to achieve even their partial ends are untrustworthy. techcrunch.com/2026/08/16/a...
