What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.

2. Use original link

How's "no"? Does "no" work?
Say it to a cop and find out?
(Please, don't.)
Amazing how since the beginning of policing, officers have managed to do their work without these cameras. Maybe they should just do that for the safety part and flock should just stop existing as a company for the privacy part.
"To Serve & Protect" is just a slogan, not a tenet. 🤷🏼♂️
Flock Safety faces a growing public outcry over concerns that its surveillance technology ~~could be misused~~ has already been repeatedly and predictably misused.
FIFY

F~~I~~TFY
Our comprise: we'll only guillotine you, instead of you and your family
how about flock stop working with the government and sell a product instead of a bullshit service
But, but, but... think of the shareholders!
People will stop tearing down cameras, and in exchange, flock will do it themselves. Sounds like a solid compromise to me.
No kidding. Their proposed safety features to stop police stalking make the police accountable to themselves. Oh, and the police can shut off some of those safety features, and again, it's up to the police to catch them.
The world is one big kangaroo court and we gave all the children guns.
Let's be clear, the kids with guns we're focused on (as a "country") are the ones bringing them to school, and it's the no-dick "adult" backbirths with guns who're the salient problem here.
That was not at all clear.
Which part? The kids shooting up their schools or the "police" who piss themselves when tasked with actually doing their fucking jobs? 😅
Oh I see, you're off on your own tangent here. I was wondering why you responded to me.
Nope.

You're in your own little world, aren't you? This looks like a pointless debate waiting to happen, so I'm out.
Fascinating 🤣
I'd be down for a compromise
However that's probably not what Flock wants
Might be off-topic, but back in my youth, the night before Halloween was Devil's Night: when Detroit was lit by the flames of ill-conceived arson & related "pranks". 🤷🏼♂️
