WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED. Giving a lecture about surveillance in a secret Newport speakeasy is now considered suspicious behavior.A while back, we hosted a discussion on the surveillance state, privacy, and whether safety and civil liberties can peacefully coexist. Evidently, the real threat wasn’t the lecture… it was the fact that people were voluntarily talking to one another.The Saturday Salon traces its lineage to the 18th’ century European salon, where dangerous activities such as reading books, drinking wine, and disagreeing politely routinely terrified centralized authority.We understand the confusion.A private speakeasy full of 1920’s furniture, Trader Joe’s wine & overdressed Newport Beach residents arguing about philosophy does bear a striking resemblance to a sophisticated intelligence operation. Admittedly, we do ask difficult questions. Occasionally someone even writes a book.We simply host conversations… one of the few technologies that social media has yet to successfully automate.If anyone intends to keep investigating us, please have your process server bring a few bottles of Trader Joe’s Cabernet on the next visit.And while you’re at it… get our address right.#flock #palantir #flockcameras
