Orwell Day

One day per quarter we take to the streets worldwide to protest surveillance, propaganda and tyranny in all its forms.  Join us!

[Orwell Day @OrwellDay]

Protesting means free PR for your cause. Protests are not an appeal to government, they are about changing public opinion. When public opinion changes, government changes. Follow to join our protest!

[Orwell Day @OrwellDay]

@Polymarket And by "tougher enforcement" they mean a digital ID. It's all a set up for a Chinese style social credit system.

[Orwell Day @OrwellDay]

The cowards at @Flock_Safety have turned comments off on their posts.

[Orwell Day @OrwellDay]

While we're working on permanent removal..

[Orwell Day @OrwellDay]

That "more convincing strategy" will be the digital ID.

[Tub Rorabaugh @TubRorabaugh]

How does stalking somehow become acceptable when it’s the government.

[MW4Liberty @MW4Liberty]

If a government has to spy on everyone to preserve itself, it’s no longer defending the people from threats.

It has become the threat the people need defending from.

I think you haven't give this any thought to be honest. 1st - A police officer shouldn't be running plates no matter what the Supreme Court says.
2nd - A police officer is limited in how often he/she can do this. Cameras can be set up in massive numbers and run 24/7, this gives the government an incredible amount of information on all citizens at all times as they travel freely. This power can and will be abused. See my page for some examples of abuse. Many more examples to come.
3rd - It's a violation of privacy. It was never the intentions of the founders of this nation that the government would create a database on it's citizens and track their every move.
And there is more but I think you need to spend more time thinking about this and coming up with the reasons on your own. Play devil's advocate with your own statement and see if it holds.
I get the feeling you don't know anything about the history of tyrants like Stalin and those living today in China and North Korea. Tyrants LOVE this technology. Learn how they use technologies like this to control their populations. If you want us to end up like China, stick with your current attitude.

If Flock cameras destroy our rights, we have the right to destroy Flock cameras.

[Orwell Day @OrwellDay]

@realMikeBlue @lightrider_ @craftbeer_dad The government gave the government permission to violate the 4th amendment?

[Orwell Day @OrwellDay]

The people of Chandler, AZ have the right idea! They went to the city council and chanted "Get Flock Out!"

The city council voted to delay the vote on the Flock spy system until July.

[Orwell Day @OrwellDay]

@realMikeBlue Flock shares all of it's information with the police. That's the entire purpose of the system. So it violates your rights by default.

[Orwell Day @OrwellDay]

@SunfishAmalor Yeah his logic isn't logicking.

[Orwell Day @OrwellDay]

The CEO of Flock said that, 'DeFlock (an anti-Flock camera group) is a terrorist organization'. Watch:

[HustleBitch @HustleBitch_]

🚨 THE CEO OF FLOCK JUST SAID THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD — AND PEOPLE ARE LOSING IT

Remember when Flock cameras were only supposed to read license plates?
Apparently that's not enough anymore.

Now we're talking about AI that can find a vehicle from a simple description.

Microphones that are always listening for so called "sounds of distress."

Drones that can be launched automatically after a 911 call.

And camera networks that can follow movement across entire cities.

Every year the cameras get smarter.
The databases get bigger.
The AI gets more powerful.
And the amount of information being collected keeps growing.

Then came the comment that really got people's attention.

The CEO behind Flock, one of the largest camera networks in America reportedly compared people who map camera locations to terrorists.

Think about that for a second.

The cameras aren't the problem.
The people tracking the cameras are.

Some people see a tool that makes communities safer.
Others see a system that knows where you've been, where you are, and eventually where you're likely to go next.

If mapping Flock cameras makes you a "terrorist," what does that make the people putting cameras everywhere?

[Orwell Day @OrwellDay]

While the KIDS act that is being pushed through Congress right now does not mandate age verification, it holds platforms financially liable if they "should have known" a person was a minor. In other words, platforms must force users to verify their age or they will be sued out of business. It's a backhanded way of moving towards a digital ID.

Do not do this!! #Flock

@PettyAndShade @JasonBassler1 I think and hope people are waking up.
