Flock Safety 面临监控技术反弹

flock safety, a company that produces automatic license plate readers and surveillance software, has become the target of growing criticism and bipartisan backlash. musician and youtube personality benn jordan has been at the forefront of this movement, even testifying before the senate judiciary committee's subcommittee on crime and counterterrorism. as a result, hundreds of cities, counties, and local governments have canceled contracts with flock, and the company is under investigation by republican sen. josh hawley. flock plans to cut about 18 percent of its workforce, according to a report by reuters. this development affects the surveillance tech industry and its relationships with law enforcement and private companies.
