alt Hacker NewsThis looks like a pretty reasonable policy to me all things considered. And no, I'm no fan of Flock. But they do run security cameras for the cops, they can't just say go ahead, go wild on all our customers' cameras. The lawyers would throw a fit.
The carveouts for stuff like configuration and DNS are entirely reasonable. Have you ever been behind a security@ email before? You get a lot of BS reports of that sort.

Why can't Flock do a "customer setup" that is otherwise sandboxed from their systems and let the white hats go nuts on that?
Content is not the same as configuration and they could get valuable information if they cared.
It's reasonable to not have a VDP for the reasons you mentioned. But not reasonable to have a useless one just so it appears they have a VDP.
