Just Say Flock It

Apparently a woman in Florida spent almost four days locked up despite not even driving the same color car the Flock cameras recorded.

Meanwhile, the CEO of Flock doesn't like to be photographed.

There wasn't an earth-shattering kaboom.

Happy Stanislav Petrov Day, everyone. He passed in 2017. As Encyclopedia Britannica puts it, “He is survived by his two children, two grandchildren, and the entire human race.”

Streisand Effect?

"The studio releasing Alex Gibney’s new Elon Musk documentary Musk is finding itself unable to buy an ad on the biggest social platforms.

YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram and Facebook owner Meta are all declining to run the trailer for Musk, along with X itself, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

That last one is perhaps understandable, given its owner. But the rejection by the other platforms has taken distributor Bleecker Street by surprise, and it is internally scrambling to understand why the ad has been rejected, according to a person familiar with the company’s processes who is not authorized to talk about them publicly."

Dude makes a documentary that essentially states "unhinged, unaccountable billionaires have way too much power in our society".

Then he tries to buy ads for it on social media sites that are... surprise! ...run by unhinged, unaccountable billionaires who all post to the same group chats as the dude the documentary is about, but they won't sell him the ad space, which kinda proves his point.
