alt Hacker NewsThey aren't. Flock is, so are they? Also, the state I live in has a GDPA that would override CCPA, so it's not exactly that cut and dry as you very well know.
The Ring example is garbage. You paid for it and it's on your property. Nothing remotely similar.
I guess then it's OK for Flock to be required installed on your mobile device so they can check your geo history for the last hour and that you don't match the profile of the guy who stole Billy's Huffy bike?
What happens when the municipalities buy time on your device since, well, you don't own it and have no right to the software running on it because of ToS you agreed to. Or that awesome "save the children from CSAM pedos" bill you cheered for that paved the way for the USG and states to be guaranteed citizen introspection app slots on your device?
Because the piece of paper says so, it should then just be accepted as is!
I've lost track of what you're talking about. Flock cameras are installed by municipalities. They're physical devices. Nobody is required to have "Flock" installed on their mobile device. That's not a thing.
