I hate the fact that The Onion is basically reporting reality nowadays.

Why do they have cameras in these places. Is a kids gymnastics room a high crime area!?
Well we live in a world literally run by pedophiles now, so sadly probably yes. I doubt that's what the cameras are for though.
Places I’ve been don’t want kids to run over to their parents mid-class, so they put them in a waiting room, and since parents want to watch their class they tend to have a tv running in that room
This is correct. I was a musical theater performer for decades and grew up in several dance studios, and they're always equipped with either a one-way mirror in a room where the parents can watch without being disruptive, or cameras.
But after the events of the past two years, we know definitively that the Epstein class is untouchable and entrenched in every detail of society and that every device with a camera or microphone and a wireless connection is spying on us. It would not surprise me to learn that Flock is collating the data received from such places and selling it to pedophiles for their entertainment.
Gods forbid we used the old school method of just looking through a damned window
At least my kid's karate studio is smart enough to do it that way...
Reminds me of this...
Flock Cameras in Children's Gymnastics Room
Don't worry it could be worse... Flock could be setting up cameras in bathrooms... oh wait... nvm.
University of Maryland installed Flock cameras in their bathrooms to "combat indecency and voyeurism." boy... I can think of several reasons not to have cameras in a bathroom (other than that it's illegal to do so)
The Residents in the Republican Area were FURIOUS that their Elected Officials DIDNT Share the footage with THEM! OTHERWISE why would they Keep Electing the People SPYING on Children?
