Yes, but the problem is deeper than flock or even privacy as a concept. The problem is that we routinely fail to recognize organization crime. Basically, you're allowed to just spread and obfuscate accountability and get away with basically anything.
If I stalk someone, I go to jail. If 100 people get together and invent Super Stalking and they stalk everyone all the time, nobody goes to jail. It's completely counter-intuitive but this is how we structured society and justice.
If 100 police officers get together and stalk you, that is a crime.
The problem here is not the lack of law, it's the lack of law enforcement.
No, it's literally not a crime. That's what flock is used for and it's perfectly legal.
Not according to the 4th amendment, and precedent set by the supreme court. Police can't just keep notes on every time and place they have seen your license plate. Doing it digitally, and feeding that info to an LLM isn't meaningfully different, apart from how much obviously worse it is.
Flock isn't legal. It simply hasn't been prosecuted, either.
