Podcast: Flock is Tracking People, Not Just Cars
404 Media 1 month ago 6
Law enforcement agencies are using Flock, a vehicle tracking system, to conduct searches for people based on physical descriptions like "male with tattoos" rather than license plates. The podcast episode also covers AI companies purchasing large quantities of out-of-print books from a company that keeps these transactions secret, and a security breach revealing that Suno's AI music generator scraped content from YouTube, Deezer, and Genius. These stories illustrate how surveillance technology and AI training data sourcing operate with limited transparency or accountability.
