Episode Details

Flock’s nationwide surveillance network is under fire after cities like LA shut down contracts and demand stricter data controls. CEO Garrett Langley admits they “got this one wrong,” rolling out fixes like mandatory audit trails and case-code requirements to prevent misuse — such as stalking ex-partners — while allowing overrides for emergencies like missing children. The fallout? Amazon’s Ring canceled its partnership amid public outcry, and dozens of Flock’s live camera feeds were publicly accessible online, revealing the chilling potential of AI-powered tracking tech. This isn’t new — privacy advocates have long warned about “LOVEINT” abuses, and now the pressure’s mounting on who’s really watching the watchers.
