Victory! #Flock Ends Rollout of Audio “Distress Detection” of Human #Voices

Reversing course, #FlockSafety —the #surveillance technology vendor most known for its extensive network of automated #licensePlate readers—has announced that it will end a pilot for its acoustic #gunshot detection devicesto identify signs of “human distress.”

In October 2025, @eff warned the public that Flock was rolling out a new feature called “#DistressDetection ” that would be deployed through their acoustic gunshot detection devices (formerly known as #FlockRaven , now called #AudioDetection ). This feature purported to use high-powered #microphones scattered throughout a city to search for sounds of human distress, with original advertisements from the product indicating it would search for “#screaming.” (Since the publication of our original blog post, Flock quietly amended the ad on this webpage to say “distress” instead of “screaming.”)

⚠️ DO NOT BUY: LG’s Spyware TVs, Monitors, and Wiretapping Concerns

The attached #video details the absolute #privacy horror of LG #television and #monitor products, that install #adware without consent, have #AI integration, and a horrible privacy policy..

> LG recently forced upon us an app install loaded with #McAfee adware through a #Windows update. We found that this has been happening to tons of users, made worse by LG's shady history with #TV's that instruct buyers to inform house visitors of third-party microphones in their living room. At no point in the adware or application install did LG or Microsoft ask us for consent or permission to install the software and enable its various permissions. On monitors ranging 1 day old in our office to 3 years old, we've been able to replicate these issues -- including on the LG 34GX900A-B that we just bought (and have now returned, following #spyware concerns).

Excerpt from LG privacy policy reading: i. CONSENT REQUIREMENT: You acknowledge and agree that it is your sole responsibility to obtain all necessary consents from any third parties whose voices may be captured by the Productand to notify household members and guests their their voices may be captured and processed, in compliance with the applicable wiretapping, eavesdropping, and privacy laws.

Turn on auto-delete and finished items with no note clear themselves on a schedule you set, daily through to yearly. Leave it off, the default, and nothing is ever removed. Anything still open, or anything you've added a note to, always stays.

"Police departments around the country have used Flock cameras at least hundreds of times to search for specific people, not cars, using searches such as “heavy-set male with a black and white hat,” “person on skateboard,” and “person wearing orange vest and construction hat,” according to data reviewed by 404 Media. Sometimes searches reference a target’s race or signs of their political affiliation.

The searches highlight that while most people associate Flock cameras with scanning license plates and tracking vehicles, some of the cameras are also capable of following the movements of particular people or groups of people. Flock’s nationwide network of cameras lets police officers in one state search for a vehicle across many other states at once; the people searches do a similar thing, typically on a smaller scale, sometimes querying many hundreds of cameras at once. These are called “FreeForm” searches, and allow cops to use Flock’s system as though they would use a search engine, with Flock’s AI and image recognition interpreting what footage and which people are relevant to a police officer’s search."

"This technical analysis provides the most detailed view yet into the inner workings of the Pegasus spyware system. This includes confirmation of key technical capabilities such as the infection vectors and methodologies used to infect devices, supported by analysis of internal NSO Group documents, that until now had only been identified via forensic investigations. It also presents new material further validating the accuracy and significance of the dataset underpinning the original Pegasus Project investigation. Finally, this research provides an updated analysis, drawing on previously published Pegasus forensic evidence and newly released materials, to validate the technical methodology used to forensically link Pegasus spyware attacks targeting different victims as originating from the same Pegasus customer.

A key aim of this publication is to document and demystify the functionality and operations of technological systems like Pegasus. We hope that it will inform the wider spyware accountability community on how complex surveillance systems such as Pegasus are used by government customers, and also illustrate the key and ongoing role of spyware vendors in keeping such systems operational. We believe this public understanding is of critical value to technologists, researchers, and policy makers and others with an interest in understanding the targeted surveillance ecosystem and threats posed to human rights by surveillance technologies.

The contents of this technical research draw heavily on a large pool of confidential NSO Group training material, presentations and internal technical documentation which were disclosed as part of a long-running civil case taken by WhatsApp and Meta against NSO Group in U.S. court. This new material provides an unprecedented insight into the evolution of NSO Group’s spyware."

"Health data is increasingly an important part of law enforcement or government investigations. Wearable data has been critical in a number of cases, where information about heart rate and steps was used to determine the whereabouts of individuals. And the surveillance company Penlink calls fitness trackers and wearables an “overlooked source” for law enforcement since they tend to show movement patterns and changes in heart rates. Law enforcement can try to get access to this data through subpoenas or warrants.

There are many potential privacy issues with these sorts of devices, including whether the companies who make them share or sell information to third-parties. But here we are choosing to focus on two facets we’re concerned with around health data itself: 1) whether the company shares information with law enforcement and governments and 2) if they offer end-to-end encryption, which means the company itself can’t access that health data to begin with."

"The social media giant Meta partnered with controversial TV personality and cosmetics mogul Kylie Jenner for the design and marketing of an “entry-level” line of its widely criticized camera glasses late last month. The collaborative campaign quickly provoked a wave of public backlash over unresolved concerns about privacy, consent, and personal safety as surveillance technology rapidly evolves.

Based in the United Kingdom, the class-based activism group Everyone Hates Elon (EHE) visualized those concerns in a lenticular spoof ad that, based on where a viewer is standing, flips between a branded marketing photo of Jenner wearing a pair of Meta glasses and a black-and-white image showing a skeletal, X-ray version of her with the tagline “We’re always watching.”

The transformation element and the poster design appear to reference the politically charged sci-fi film They Live (1988), in which the main character encounters a pair of sunglasses that not only expose the extractive messaging of advertisements but reveal that humanity is being controlled, subdued, and exploited by a secret population of aliens masquerading as people. In the film, it’s later revealed that some humans have accepted monetary bribes to collaborate with the aliens."

"ING moet overeenkomsten met Google aan Consumentenbond laten zien

AMSTERDAM (ANP) - ING moet de Consumentenbond van de rechter inzage geven in overeenkomsten van de bank met Google. De Consumentenbond en Stichting Benadeelden in Actie stapten begin dit jaar naar de rechter om af te dwingen dat ING inzage geeft in de afspraken met Google over het gebruik van klantgegevens. De organisaties maken zich zorgen over de privacy van klanten die betalen via Google Pay.
ING stapte in september 2024 over van de eigen betaalapp naar Google Pay. Daardoor moeten klanten die contactloos willen betalen met een Android-telefoon nu Google Pay gebruiken. Dat vinden de Consumentenbond en de stichting "onwenselijk, omdat daarmee klantgegevens terechtkomen bij een techgigant die bekendstaat als privacyschender", aldus de Consumentenbond.
De rechtbank in Amsterdam ging donderdag deels mee in de eisen van de organisaties. De rechter heeft bepaald dat ING de organisaties inzage moet geven in overeenkomsten met Google over contactloos betalen door ING-klanten met een Android-toestel via Google Pay."

I thought scaling Tor meant adding more relays.

What it actually meant was multiplying failure modes...

I now operate 24 Tor relays and bridges across 15 locations, 11 ASNs and 6 operating systems.

Every new relay brings another provider, firewall, IPv6 route, service manager, identity key, backup and recovery plan.

Some things I learned along the way:

🌍 More countries don’t automatically mean real diversity
🔑 The server is replaceable, the relay identity isn’t
🛠️ Linux, BSD and SunOS need the same outcomes, not the same commands
📊 What I configured isn’t always what the Tor network currently sees

A large fleet is easy to count. A resilient one is much harder to keep alive.

I wrote about what operating Tor across 15 locations actually taught me:
