Quick everyone, print out the Flock map for your area in case they take it down

sigh
this is a legal demand letter
maybe the reason is that Flock thinks it can scare people off by the cost of litigation, and has nothing at all to do with what Flock does or doesn't think about thier right to privacy

@elfin maps can be copied, I suppose the XML map data is spread wide and large.

Hay, there is like four of them at an intersection walking distance from me.
@doctorwhom @elfin *were. As I suppose you did something to those beasts.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell I'm sorry, did you say something?
@elfin @GhostOnTheHalfShell can't hear what you say, too much noise from the flock data center.

@knutson_brain Angle Grinder or SawsAll (or plasma cutter but that's not very inconspicuous).

@elfin That's kind of hilarious.

@thomkennon @elfin I am *LIVID* that there are some in Canada.
-
@thomkennon @elfin that's basically just the US population density map? Does every single town have these?

@elfin No one would ever make a movie with this stupid of a timeline. It was crash and burn, be a total loss of investment.
But here, in this reality, the people in charge of the Keystone cops, Three Stooges main characters, and unbelievable plot are raking in the cash.

@elfin
If they have a right to video us, why dont we have a right to know where they are?
Fuck Flock!!! -

@elfin if they remove the cameras, then the map will hold no power over them

@ZenHeathen @thomkennon @elfin
Why am I not surprised that Kelowna of all places is the big Canadian hotspot. Ugh.

@thomkennon @elfin
just trying to make sure my little ouispy devices work.
gotta test your gear in the wild, not in the lab! -
@tony *Tiger Smile* CORRECT!
OSM gives zero fucks (I'm told) and it's "Open" Street Map so anyone can (and will) just make a new one, and I've exported the data to my maps (NextCloud) so all I have to do is import it again AND SHARE this data with anyone who wants it.
Anyway, no judge (except perhaps the Fifth Circuit) will grant Flock this so I/We aren't worried.
Wouldn't any injunction to remove a map, as it tracks the company, and thus is more akin to stalking than publicity... Equally indict Flock collecting and making maps of people's personal lives?

@elfin
Naughty naughty naughty Flock.

I am suddenly conflicted.
