If you live somewhere else IE another state, how much do you get to tell us about where you’re from, that you no longer reside and are only there for visits? Isn’t there a word y’all have for other people that do that? I just …..
The Twitter infosec community is pretty solid. I never get any hate for posting race car or firearm content, even though I have friends here who hate both.

🚨🇯🇵 Nintendo targets more than 400 Switch emulator repositories in massive GitHub sweep
Nintendo filed seven DMCA anti-circumvention notices in a single day targeting Switch emulator projects and their forks.
The largest action hit Suyu, a Yuzu successor, with GitHub processing the notice against an entire network of 311 repositories.
Other targets included:
• 29 Skyline repositories
• Multiple Yuzu forks and Android ports
• 17 MonoNX forks
• Yuzu Early Access mirrors
Nintendo argues the emulators circumvent its technological protection measures by using unauthorized cryptographic keys to decrypt Switch games.
Most of the targeted repositories are now offline. Some of the code had already survived previous shutdowns through forks, mirrors, and revived projects, meaning keeping it offline may prove harder than removing it.

FLOCK changed its terms and conditions yet AGIAN . August 21st 2026 and it creates a LOOPHOLE DATA LAUNDERING MECHANISM .
Read Section 1.12. Flock Property includes "any derivative works, intermediate or final outputs, analyses, reports, models, or other results generated by or through the Flock Services." The customer has zero rights to these. The customer can only "access and download Customer Data within the applicable Retention Period." After that, the customer gets nothing. Flock keeps everything derived from the data forever.🚨
Now read Section 4.1. "Customer hereby grants to Flock a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license to use Customer Data to support and improve Flock's products and services. For the avoidance of doubt, Flock shall not sell Customer Data."🚨🚨
Now read Section 1.18. Permitted Purpose includes "prevention of commercial harm, to the extent permitted by law."⚠️
Here is what happens when you collide these 3 clauses together.
Flock captures license plate images, vehicle characteristics, location data, and timing data using cameras mounted on public poles under police authority. That raw data is Customer Data. Flock says they will not sell Customer Data.🚨
But Flock feeds that Customer Data into their machine learning models. Those models learn to identify vehicles by make, model, color, body type, accessories, damage patterns, and driving patterns. The models are Flock Property. The analyses are Flock Property. The reports are Flock Property.
Flock cannot sell Customer Data. But Flock can sell Flock Property. And Flock Property is the intelligence derived from Customer Data.🚨
This is a data laundering pipeline. Raw data goes in. Proprietary intelligence comes out. The raw data cannot be sold. The intelligence can. Flock has structured the contract to create a legal firewall between the input and the output so they can commercialize surveillance data without technically selling it.🚨

DATA LAUNDERING OPERATION 🚨
Essentially the Police departments pay for Flock cameras using taxpayer funds. The cameras are mounted on public utility poles under the legal authority of the government. The data collection is constitutional only because a government actor authorized it. The taxpayer funds the infrastructure. The taxpayer provides the legal authority. The taxpayer assumes the liability.🚨
But the intelligence product derived from that infrastructure belongs exclusively to Flock. The taxpayer gets degraded access to raw data for a limited retention period. Flock gets perpetual ownership of the AI models, the analyses, and the reports trained on that data.🚨
This is conversion of government property. Flock is using taxpayer-funded surveillance infrastructure, operating under government legal authority, to build proprietary commercial AI assets that they own exclusively. The taxpayer pays for the raw material. Flock keeps the refined product. The taxpayer gets a temporary license to view their own data through Flock's web interface. Flock gets an irrevocable perpetual license to use the data to build products they sell to anyone.
🚨
Flock Property under Section 1.12. Flock can sell Flock Property. Flock Property is derived from Customer Data. So Flock takes data they collected under police authority, runs it through their proprietary algorithms, produces intelligence, and sells the intelligence. They never sell the "Customer Data." They sell the product built on top of it.🚨
And if you look at Section 1.18 its a the backdoor for selling Flock Property to insurance companies, repossession firms, private investigators, corporate security teams, and data brokers. Flock frames the sale as "prevention of commercial harm" and points to Section 1.18 as contractual authorization.

Palantir just released a new surveillance system that fuses satellites, radars and every camera into one real-time tracker of people and movement
We have to consider the possibility (probability?) that with Flock as the eyes, a system like this could be overlaid onto the US and we could be the targets.
Another reason we cannot allow Flock to exist.
🛑 Do not add the ChatGPT Messages “plugin” to Apple Messages.
And never use iMessage, SMS or RCS again. You’ll never know if the person you’re texting has been stupid and irresponsible enough to add this silent monitoring bot to your conversation.
Governments no longer need to pressure Apple for a backdoor. OpenAI just built one for them.
Every text you send them can end up on OpenAI’s servers, available to intelligence agencies and law enforcement through US legal process, and to other governments who can demand access through treaties and cross border agreements.
Facebook Messenger is now safer than iMessage. @OpenAI just killed end to end encryption for Apple.
