Recently, a public records request revealed that Flock pitched to several 3rd party transport companies including Uber and Lyft to use their Nexar dash camera systems as mobile Flock cameras. This would mean 350,000 Flock cameras collecting data on everyone and everything they see as they transport you from location A to B. The proposal was not approved, but no further information on pending negotiations have been revealed either. "Constitutional rights are useful up to a point, but they do not serve to guarantee much more than what might be called the bourgeois conception of freedom. According to the bourgeois conception, a "free" man is essentially an element of a social machine and has only a certain set of prescribed and delimited freedoms; freedoms that are designed to serve the needs of the social machine more than those of the individual. | - Industrial Society and Its Future, Theodore Kaczynski
