    Now, to be clear, doxxing someone is completely indefensible and dangerous because it puts real people in physical danger.

    Fuck that. This guy deserves to be doxed and deserves every potential outcome of being doxed.

    To be guillotined would be more mercy than he is owed.

        Nah. They are human. To deny that is to deny that which makes a person stoop so low as to become a CEO (rhyme initially not intended but damnit I’ll still take credit for it)

        Plus, I respect rats too much to demean them like that

        This is dehumanization. It is the tool of the enemy. We do not need it. We will not use it.

        If you dehumanize persons, you aren’t a leftist or revolutionary or the resistance or an activist. You are a fascist.

            Oh, violence, even lethal violence might be necessary in defense of self or others. But, we must not deny that we are dealing with persons. I’m not even saying don’t dox the guy, I’m saying that don’t forget that you are doxing a person.

            The focus should be on rehabilitating the person and remediating any harm they have caused, not on returning harm with harm. Of course, if they are being violent or legitimately threatening violence, defensive violence SHOULD be taken to contain/control/remove the threat.

            Violating his privacy might be a good lesson in how “we should balance privacy and safety” as part of his rehabilitation, but we can do that without dehumanization.

    Their CEO, Garrett Langley, went on Fox News recently and argued that […] we all just need to accept a “compromise” between privacy and safety.

    I’m struck by what a giant load of bullshit this is and how Flock (and copycat companies like Axion) are just facilitating the sort of police state that would be required to make something like Project 2025 possible.

      Ben Franklin was very progressive for his time. He owned a few slaves early in his life, but soon freed them and spent the rest of his life as one of that time period’s most outspoken critics of slavery. He even bought a printing press so he could spread anti-slavery rhetoric more effectively.

      You have internet, there’s no excuse for being wrong unless you just like spreading misinformation.

      Defensive violence is justified only so long as it is defensive.

      For example, torturing prisoners is immoral even if the prisoners in question were (and want to be) executioners for the State. They do not pose a legitimate threat of violence when they are (controlled) prisoners.

      I just like the idea that knowing where he lives in some way puts him in more danger than he already was before. Anyone who really wanted him dead would already has this information.

      So basically him being docxed is just about telling everyone where he lives. He doesn’t want that because it’ll result in protesters turning up on his lawn but his life is not in any more danger.

    Set up cameras around his house, not pointing directly at his house. Then make some software to guess when he is home or not and what vehicle he left in. Then sell that data to anyone for a cent. Include wi-fi and bluetooth tracking too.

      Apparently Axon doesn’t have the same national network. So a cop in Texas can’t track his ex or a woman going for an abortion in Oklahoma.

      I still don’t like having ALPR type cameras all over town, though.

        Its better to have a judge be able to see the footage and make a judgement than it is for there to be no record of the cop violence at all.

          Yes I could see the logic in that but here’s how it used to « see, mister Judge, how the culprit wasn’t responsive to my threatening and escalating demands, I had to use force to subdue the culprit who was increasingly violent as I made violent escalating demands »
