Privacy Advocates Test DeFlock App to Evade Flock Safety Surveillance Cameras in Georgia
Privacy advocates associated with the DeFlock movement have developed a crowdsourced map designed to help individuals avoid automated license plate readers, including thousands of cameras manufactured by Atlanta-based Flock Safety. The DeFlock app was recently put to the test to determine its effectiveness in routing users around these surveillance cameras. The test, documented by AJC, revealed that successfully avoiding the cameras using the app was more challenging than anticipated. This initiative highlights growing concerns among privacy advocates regarding the widespread deployment of surveillance technology and its implications for individual privacy. The DeFlock movement aims to empower citizens with tools to navigate and potentially circumvent the expanding network of surveillance cameras.
