Use Faraday pouches or leave your phone at home this Halloween. Flock cams gather Bluetooth, cellular, and WiFi data as you pass by them

It's part of the same issue - lack of US GDPR.
We need to demand US GDPR because there are other issues - companies like Lexis nexis are buying your stolen data from the dark net and reselling. Facebook pervert glasses, google siphoning our data and others we don't even know about

We can make all the rules we want, but the rules don’t matter.

Lack of spines in people we expected to enforce our rights got us here. It’s no good making more rules when the ones we have are ignored.

It is. If vindicator had gait tracking in 2006, flock absolutely will have it.
