      I had to double-check what Deflock was for:

      DeFlock’s mission is simple: to shine a light on the widespread use of ALPR technology, raise awareness about the threats it poses to personal privacy and civil liberties, and empower the public to take action.

      This app makes it easy to view and report AI powered surveillance cameras, automatic license plate readers (ALPRs), and other surveillance infrastructure near you.

      Sharing information about where cameras are located is terrorism now?

      🙄

      This is just a play out of the rules for radicals playbook: accuse others of what you are doing.

      It means ‘Enemy of the rich’ now

      e: important clarification, by rich I mean billionaires who own the majority of everything and not successful doctors, engineers or movie stars. Know your classes, kids

      That’s partly the point. Use words that accurately describe your evil group to incorrectly describe other groups and all of a sudden the words lose meaning and nobody can call you that anymore. Hooray!

      It never had any meaning. Reagan had them redefine it in a way that didn’t implicate America.

      It never had meaning. To instill deep fear. Doing violent acts with the purpose of achieving a political end.

      It’s always been super broad and just waiting for a domestic party to adopt the tactics of Israel’s occupied territories here in the US, that’s where this was always heading.
