Flock Safety moves to take down map exposing 300,000 surveillance devices, triple its public count
SatelliteNetSec · x · 2026-09-27
Flock Safety has issued a legal demand to remove a public map showing the locations of roughly 300,000 of its surveillance cameras across the US. The map's creator found over 300,000 devices, while Flock only publicly reported 120,000 — suggesting the real footprint is far larger than disclosed. The takedown attempt has reignited debate over transparency in mass surveillance.
