Americans will never stand up for their own privacy because the vast majority of them thinks they're talking about OTHER people - not them.
Even now, just like with the out of control law enforcement, they think somehow those cameras aren't looking at THEM.
Actually, you're kinda wrong.
There's not a ton of reporting on it, but Flock has lost 100+ contracts, just in September. They've lost 400ish since June. This has been across 36 US states.
People are standing up, we're just not hearing about it because the vast majority are doing so via the boring, pedestrian democratic process. And to be fair, I didn't know this either until I did research for a video I made about the Flock buyout a week ago.
This is also a good reminder that, while you have zero political power nationally, you have a ton of power locally if you're willing to attend city council meetings and speak.

Change is a slow process. We have a system to follow to reverse all this but it doesn't happen overnight. We don't want violence or property damage.
No one thinks cameras aren't looking at them. It seems you are out of touch with real Americans and only get your information from social media.
