I've heard some really bad pro-Flock rationalizations lately. "If you aren't doing anything bad, you have nothing to worry about." Maybe I just don't like government and corporations spying on me wherever I go? Or maybe I should worry about the government deciding that the perfectly legal stuff I'm doing today is illegal tomorrow. "You don't want the mass surveillance because you want the option to do something bad." I want the option to buy a fucking cup of coffee without ten different state and federal agencies and their corporate partners knowing which creamer I used. "You worry about Flock, but you already live in a society where everyone has personal smartphones with cameras that can spy on you." Sure, I don't like that, but if you find yourself in a hole, you don't keep digging.
