Cities have been dropping Flock at an accelerating pace over concerns regarding out-of-control surveillance, unwanted data sharing, high expenses, and reports of police abusing the tool.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him.

His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time. 

I sued them for wrongful termination and won.

So yes, I know that motherfucker. 
Did you ever meet Bob Kraft?

"Now we realize what that new gas market was: all of these #AI #DataCentres. That's why #Alberta is on the front line of this data centre boom, because we are the ones with the biggest #NaturalGas reserves to get after. And of course, at the same time, this is going to impact us." #abpoli #cdnpoli
The powers that be seem as determined to dot the landscape with #DataCentres as citizens around the world & across the partisan divide seem increasingly determined to stop them. We dig in with our good friend @jennyyeremiy.bsky.social of @www.thegravitywell.net! www.podcastics.com/episode/4297...

This is absurd. Trump is using YOUR taxpayer dollars to test for "abortions in the water." Seriously.

This isn't about health care or science. This is about catering to anti-abortion extremists who are fighting to rip away reproductive rights and control women's bodies.

The new study will test for trace amounts of chemicals, pesticides and drugs — including ones used to induce abortions — in drinking water in multiple cities.

Flock did this within the first THREE DAYS of its work with Boston. There was an agreement about data sharing in place. They broke it immediately. If you care at all about privacy and true public safety, you should be horrified. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/09/14/b...
Boston told Flock not to allow outside access to its license plate data. It happened anyway. - The Boston Globe
The surveillance company enabled nationwide data sharing during a pilot last year, without Boston's approval.

Seems worth noting that this was the same exact group of people that came together to blackball Colin Kaepernick from ever playing in the NFL again.

Robert Kraft was the leader of this 'ultimatum' that gave virtually every other stadium in the tour:

Either you drop Macklemore or we don't host.
