According to dealroom.co, Flock Safety is becoming more and more valuable.
“Flock Safety raised $500 million in a Series H round at an $8.3 billion valuation, backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Tiger Global, Fortune reported.”
But dealroom.co addresses something that Andreessen Horowitz and others tend to shy away from:
“What could go wrong? Backlash is building. Critics say the cameras violate constitutional rights, and some point to misuse — including police officers who tapped the tech to stalk ex-partners. Others have raised cybersecurity concerns about the potential for the cameras to be hacked.”
It gives Garrett Langley the floor to address these concerns.
“CEO Garrett Langley told Fox News that people who talk only about privacy or safety are ‘prioritizing the wrong thing,’ adding that ‘what we have to prioritize as a country is compromise.'”
Of course, Langley reportedly has privacy concerns of his own. Or maybe not.
It goes beyond Flock Safety
This clash between venture capitalists and privacy advocates is nothing new.
And clashes between money people and protesters can get amusing. Especially when protestors use a proliferation of generative AI content and social media posts to protest the proliferation of data centers.
