In the US flock is routinely used by law enforcement personnel to stalk exes and for other abuses. Are police in those other countries equally untrustworthy?

To me, that’s a problem of oversight, audit trails, consequences, and the relationship of police with their communities; not of Flock itself. And based on what I’m reading, they are reacting - criminal case IDs will be required to do searches and automated monitoring of misuse will be mandatory by default soon. So the anger against Flock itself seems misplaced.

Sure, in the same way that anger against guns is misplaced, in the US, because the US is unique in the world with its social psychosis around guns.

Yeah, and the way to change US culture/laws around guns probably isn’t to break the windows of random gun shops.
