Flock is going after a website called HaveIBeenFlocked.com that has collated public records files released by police.

Their quote very much sounds like it was written by Noem or one of the other orange stooges:

Flock told 404 Media in an email “That website that is doxxing cops during active investigations. Today, we're busy working with journalists to cover the fact that our technology was pivotal in cracking open the case that found the Brown university / MIT serial killer in New England. If you'd like to report the news that matters, we'd be happy to speak to you about bringing justice to victims instead of activists trying to let murderers go free.”

DARVO

(Deny, attack, reverse victim and offender)

Pretty typical of this administration's malignant narcissism and the concomitant authoritarianism.

Flock is a terrible company that repeatedly blames security researchers instead of working with them like everyone else. Laughable and abusable product, which is the point. It's always morally ethical to sabotage flock hardware

It’s a pattern with the most desperate of douchebag tech CEOs for the coming technofascist takeover.

Jensen Huang, Satya Nadella, Garrett Langley, Palmer Luckey…all of them pivoted from at least somewhat decent, if super corporate, products into the worst enshittified, bait and switch, industry sellout, profit grabbing trash. They all had platforms that normies had latched onto and then they shredded them for cash. Yeah yeah “same as it ever was” but I mean egregious this time.

Then they DARVO and whine on social media anytime anyone dares criticize it. Dunno how people keep falling for it
