Big Brother restores live feeds early during Week 7

tvAug 29, 2026821,199

Residents across roughly 36 states have vandalized, stolen, spray-painted, stickered over, crashed into or shot at Flock license plate cameras as part of organized pushback against expanded AI surveillance, the article reports. DeFlock, an anti-Flock group that maps the company’s footprint, counts more than 130,000 of Flock’s plate readers on U.S. streets and says at least 100 cities have deactivated cameras or canceled contracts in response to public pressure. Flock says more than 5,000 law enforcement agencies use its technology and has rolled out new privacy measures including shorter data retention windows, mandatory misuse-detection tools and required case codes for every search. Activists call Flock’s changes insufficient, arguing the cameras are being misused and that the company is embedded in local political deals to win contracts. The article documents numerous misuse cases, including Milwaukee officer Josue Ayala, who used Flock to track a romantic partner 124 times and that partner’s ex 55 times before resigning and pleading guilty. A Newsweek investigation found allegations of similar misuse by police in at least 12 states, and the Institute for Justice’s ongoing count shows dozens of cases surfacing since 2024. Milwaukee’s Common Council has demanded reviews and the police department cut off officer access while it evaluates who legitimately needs the system.

I've been playing around tonight & resurrected the #BB2 section of the site I helped run during the early years (TvClubhouse / BigBrotherFanClub). If you're curious you can poke around. I've also attached a few sample pages. My name on the site was / is "Ryn" miketalksabout.com/archive/bigb...

I remember that site! and Bomis! I miss those days of info/followup posts from alums rather than self-promo and money grabs

Warning - there ARE broken links - its been 26 years after all. The site was hosted on "Bomis" and that site is long changed (it was owned by Jimmy Wales btw - and this was before he'd started Wikipedia!) bsky.app/profile/bbgo...

Barrett just said something to Dee about 'imagine the feeds just came back after two days off', and she was shocked. I assume he just figured it out. #bb28
