    I had to double-check what Deflock was for:

    DeFlock’s mission is simple: to shine a light on the widespread use of ALPR technology, raise awareness about the threats it poses to personal privacy and civil liberties, and empower the public to take action.

    This app makes it easy to view and report AI powered surveillance cameras, automatic license plate readers (ALPRs), and other surveillance infrastructure near you.

    Sharing information about where cameras are located is terrorism now?

    🙄

      Careful! I think logic and questions are the new terrorist things to do! Oooo scarey!

              That’s really concerning. Like, if a loved one told me that I’d express serious concern for their mental health

              That is not healthy, and you should stop doing that.

                  Victory Gin and Victory Cigarettes are from 1984. The specific context of this image I’m not sure of.

                    For clarity, 1984 is a book by George Orwell.

      Shit from the title I thought they were going around smashing the cameras and that it was an exaggeration, but I was clearly wrong on the scale

            We have such sort of cameras in Europe as well. Some even use a Service provider from china; literally Surveillance as a Service.

        It’s a surveillance company, stoking fears of terrorism is just good business, especially if it’s not true
