🚨 Section 8 of Flock Safety’s contract caps liability at just $100.
100,000+ cameras. 49 states. 20B license plates scanned every month. $8.4B valuation. If your data is leaked, lost, or misused: max payout is $100.
Billions for them. $100 for you.
Y'all okay with this?
BREAKING: In order to prevent subscription streaming services from raising their prices, and angering Trump
Carney will cover the new CRTC fee of $600 million by billing you on April 30th every year, via the taxbase.
(and its borrowed, so youll pay interest on it too)
Bill C-9 = Defines what you can and cannot say, the consequences of hurting people’s feelings
Bill C-22 = Provides the government with the proof (metadata) they need to go after you for hate-speech.
Bill C-8 = Gives the power to our government to cut you off the internet and prohibit Internet Service Providers from selling you services.
Unlike what they want you to believe, these bills are not separate, they are interconnected.
The government wants to put in place the legal framework to spy on us and use AI to keep us in check.
This is not about safety; this is about crushing dissent.
In 2018, Australia passed the Telecommunications and Other Legislation Amendment. The bill bears strong similarities to C-22. 🇦🇺
What happened after?
- 22% of firms cut R&D investment
- 36% of firms reported TOLA made their global risk environment worse
- Australian firms lost contracts. Big ones.
The problem is, 🇨🇦 is much more exposed than Australia ever could be.

With unfettered access to someone's life, you can piece together any narrative that suits your agenda.
This is why mass surveillance is dangerous. Because you're only safe until you become someone's target.
Canadian Government: "Bill C-22 will not break encryption."
Also the Canadian Government: "... but we do want to be able to read your encrypted messages"
The Song is considered to be one of the most difficult arias ever written for a soprano. And yet she makes it look so easy, and with such power.
And she was only 17 years old when she performed it.
Excel 95 had a secret Easter egg called the Hall of Tortured Souls.
If you followed a weird set of steps, you could enter a Doom-style 3D maze hidden inside a spreadsheet program.
90s software was genuinely unhinged.
🚨🚨SHOCKING
This company fired Canadian workers and hired ILLEGAL workers. AFTER they had been found out, Liberals gave them multiple rounds of subsidy anyways.
Your tax dollars went to subsidize a company that fired Canadians and hired illegal workers.
The Minister who is supposed to be responsible for Jobs says that she wasn't aware of this, even though it was her government that provided me with the information.
Watching the Canadian House of Commons railroad through their surveillance regime (C-22) does not give one hope for Canadian democracy.
Less than 5 minutes ago, the Canadian Liberals adjourned the meeting where @signalapp and several others were going to do Q&A.

. @signalapp leaves no doubt about impact of Bill C-22 on the popular messaging app in statement to committee:
“Signal will not build surveillance into our service. If we are ever forced to choose between betraying the people who rely on us and leaving a market, we will leave.”
Aging is arguably the root cause of most major diseases (loss of function in our cells). Four years ago, we made a bet that aging was treatable, and NewLimit was born.
NewLimit now has a prototype drug that reverses the age of some human cells (restores function they had when they were younger), and a clinical trial scheduled for next year (with more drug candidates in the pipeline).
Grateful to Founders Fund, Thrive, Greenoaks, and the rest of the investors for this latest round. @jacobkimmel and the team are just getting started.
