I'm a big fan of Proton, and I couldn't imagine using anyone else's email services, but in the age of ID verification for porn and governments trying to ban VPNs, I just hope there aren't any bears that feel this poke is too hard.

That must be a treasure trove of camera data.

This map is missing a number of locations near me that DeFlock ( https://deflock.org/ ) has. For example, entrances to Stanford's campus.

Wow, they're everywhere. I did not realize the extent of it

Why are there so few cameras in Manhattan, but so many almost everywhere else? San Francisco has a ton of them for example.

This is really great, amazing. Thanks Proton for rolling this out.

The two in my California neighborhood actually got cut down about a month ago and one hasn't been replaced yet (still shows active on that map). My neighborhood board voted to tell the Sheriff's department NOT to replace it. It's interesting how there's pretty strong voices on all sides of the political spectrum calling for the removal of them (for different reasons).

It is very good that Flock is getting so much negative attention, but I fear that Flock may be a "trap crop" in this space, distracting the public taking all the heat while some other companies are doing the same thing without all the public awareness.

Beautifully put together. I was disgusted to know Home Depot allowed for cameras facing each exit, meanwhile others like Lowe's pushed back. I will never go to Home Depo again, and find most product same pricing or few cents more expensive at Lowe's. Who cares? These people been #1 customers for HD and this is how you pay back... I wish some rich Law Firm would file a class action lawsuit against Home Depo for violation of basic privacy. All you need is a receipt of purchased product, as there is no other way to enter their premises than to park upfront and get your license read and stored indefinitely.
