The disinfo campaigns against @Flock_Safety are the same ones now being used against datacenters: fear, distortion, and outright lies pushed by wealthy activists insulated from the consequences. Flock doesn’t spy on citizens or sell your data. Datacenters aren’t a societal evil. But the consequences of these campaigns are real: less safe cities, weaker American competitiveness, and fewer jobs and opportunities for the communities that need them most. Last night, Austin suffered another horrific mass shooting after canceling its Flock contract. Last week, Cleveland killed a $1.6B datacenter project after a misinformation-fueled backlash. Different industries. Same anti-technology, anti-growth politics. The wealthy people pushing these narratives still live behind gates and hire private security. Public safety technology like Flock is what makes safety more equitable for everyone else. That’s the real loss.
