I did it. Only two major hurdles i havent quite got yet, phone (i preorederd a Jolla) and digital payments. Otherwise im pretty glad i ditched everything, including windows.

Ive tried to recreate this but im not a netowork engineer or anything. Ive seen the videos of people accessing the cameras. If i could access the cameras our facilities higher ups would surely lose their shit.

Thanks this will be included in my reply.

The patent does explicitly say the intent is facial recognition, which I highlited for them in the email.

 

Thanks to everyone who replied to my prior post on Flock cameras at the entrance to my work.

I worked some emails to my union asking if I could see any contract between our company and Flock. The request was forwarded to the union president who replied to say that the union doesnt have that information and that they follow corporate policy. He asked if there was a specifc concern that is to be investigated.

I planned to follow up with the lawsuits section of the consumer rights wiki page on Flock (sorry links not working on my end) and possibly the video by Ben Jordan, although, i am hesitant to include any sensationalized and entertainment focused content as evidence to white collar proffesionals. That wouldnt be very substantial. I am looking for discrete and well documented evidence that the Flock cameras are recording and serving out more than license plate information.

Does anyone have anything they can share?

This moron is also a MAGA appologist and enabler. I left Proton for other alternatives. They want to claim they are "politically nuetral" well if you really were you wouldnt be commenting at all on politics would you?

The union confirmed that they are.

Ive found GIMP hard to use honestly... I suspect it will end up being replaced entirely by AI

Well i dont know if thats true or not about the data centers but this is a trend that is happening all over the world as i understand it.

Could be possible I think.

This sounds like a good idea but i have never seen anyone do anything like that at my workplace... i fear it might be stigmatizing

Cant say i havent thought about it but its been a lot of work to build my career up to this point.

Regardless of the record of complaint, the potential risk of getting caught is going to cause me to lose my job anyway (at the least). So i figured i should try a legitamate route and that maybe it could work and there wouldnt be any risk that way.

 

Hello, the title sums it up pretty much but here's some details. I live in the US and I have been working for a pretty big company for a few years. I noticed recently that they have put up Flock cameras at all entrances and I really object to it. I would consider a new job but three main factors are really preventing me from doing that. First, I like many of my coworkers and it makes my day easier. Second, I get paid well enough. Third, the job is nearby and its an easy commute. Essentially all the things I want in a job.

What I have done so far: I have contacted my union rep. The response from the union was essentially indifference to the idea. They claim Flock simply sends the data to our normal security team. They did mention that it was discussed recently otherwise. Last note, I work for a place where vandalism would not be possible due to the nature of the facility.

I'm not really sure what else to do but I didn't want to do nothing. What would you do?
