I bought a drawing tablet and learned Illustrator for this last video as stock libraries wouldn't be able to properly visualize historical examples of steganography. It took a long time and was fun! I'm not sure it's possible to do anything artistic on a computer without slop accusations. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Opposing government surveillance is a foundational American principle. The next elections aren't red vs blue, it could be your last chance to regain privacy and autonomy.

If there's one takeaway from everything I learned from my research and interviews in the last year: It's extremely likely that a large-scale cybersecurity attack will be successfully carried out on US infrastructure in the next year. And it will have been completely preventable.

If you vandalize a Flock camera, the city is contractually obligated to pay Flock to replace it. In the end, a new camera is installed and Flock makes additional revenue at the expense of the taxpayers. A better strategy is to build support for elected leaders that will terminate the contract.

Saturday Salon forged a cease and desist letter and shared it on their official profile. They put themselves and others in legal jeopardy and handed Flock a win by making critical press seem hyperbolic. I apologize for not fully vetting this, as Flock had sent frivolous letters in the past.

Oh cool, an Easter egg feature that traps you in a driverless car and kidnaps you when it's decided you've misbehaved. Imagine what a hacker group or ICE can do with this. The fact that this is even functionally possible is horrifying.
