Flock's cameras remain a civil liberties threat despite new updates
ACLU · Chad Marlow · August 13, 2026 · United States
The ACLU argues Flock's August 2026 operational changes — shorter default retention, more local search control — do not fix warrantless mass location tracking, cross-agency sharing, or the company's business model. The group points to its Get the Flock Out campaign and nationwide public opposition.
Why it is in the file
Best short cite for the civil-liberties counter to Flock's own announcement: company policy is not a statute, and default retention is still a company setting.
