It is them. It’s certainly not “the government” many of which are banning Flock cameras.

Those local governments that aren’t banning are getting a cut of the ad revenue they make off these real world ads.

Literally wake up what is wrong with you people

You would let them do anything! You are actually a liability now just for being so unbelievably ignorant.

It’s the high rep accounts sticking their neck out for Flock and YC so it seems like HN is in on it too.

Holy conspiracy theorists. I surely was not expecting this amount of paranoia from a sound place like HN. Either way, drama is always welcome, for it is ultimately unavoidable, in one form or another.

I just don't like moral distortions. Is YC in control of Flock or responsible for their choices? Who are "them", what are we ignorant about and why is it Marxism?

YC (you want me to name the partners here? Or Flock’s YC advisors?)

> Marxism

But what are you saying? YC are to blame for the unsavory future directions of the companies they fund. Counterargument, no they're not, what are you banging on about.

Classic ideologue behavior of no-nuance blind rage to stoke as much support as possible for their cause.

"My cause is more important than honesty, and honesty could detract from the rage energy I need"

You see this is everywhere, and it (lack of rational discussion/reasoning) is soooo incredibly destructive to society.

We can stop Flock without having to make up lies. They do enough bad stuff that their is no need for deceit and conspiracy...
