    Facebook isn’t in contract to track citizens for cops. It does so digitally for ad agencies, but not physically for the police.

    The difference is pretty stark and as bad as giving your data to Facebook is, Flock is an immediate threat that we can see and interact with. There are no Facebook street cameras capturing license plates.

        You can’t even acknowledge that Flock sends police to people’s houses as a business model and lets them be stalked by law enforcement?

        Facebook’s business model is also bad, but every time I mention the company the post is about, you change goalposts. Facebook is optional.

        Flock can’t be opted out of and has to be actively protested. You have to voice your concern at town hall to stop Flock.
