The Computer Man Show Flock Edition hosted by Luigi Oppido with special guest Nyanko.
This special episode captures a fast-moving, in-the-moment discussion of the Santa Cruz City Council’s decisive vote to cancel its contract with Flock Safety surveillance cameras. The conversation breaks down what happened at the meeting, why public testimony overwhelmingly opposed the technology, and how concerns over privacy, data security, cloud-based control, and corporate trust ultimately outweighed law-enforcement assurances. It was emphasized that the vote was not a rejection of local police, but a rejection of a surveillance company viewed as incompatible with community values, while urging listeners to stay engaged, informed, and active in ensuring the cameras are fully removed and similar systems are resisted elsewhere.
