Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras. Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage. (www.bloodinthemachine.com)

I just learned HGTV has a Jan 7 2026 show called "Neighborhood Watch". It's like America's Funniest Home Videos, but it's all doorbell/security cameras. User-submitted, I think. I absolutely refuse to believe this was a casual idea from HGTV as they struggle to maintain viewership. There's no way this isn't funded by one of these companies, meant to continue making everyone comfortable with constant surveillance and increasing the desire to have constant recording devices to catch these one-off comedic moments.

Tagline: "Everywhere you go, cameras are recording. Your neighbors are watching."
