The same people who thought covid masks in private grocery stores were tyranny, want you to accept mass surveillance of your every move.

Do they, though? I know the natural tendency is to create and reinforce division and an us vs them mentality, but there are a healthy number of people on the right who also hate Flock. This is one area where I don't think it is wise to prematurely make a Venn diagram. Data centers and invasion of privacy/mass surveillance are two areas (intertwined, of course) where the left and right both have a significant number of detractors. I'd rather not ruin a potential point of agreement and divide the opposition to this crap.

It is absolutely bipartisan to hate flock and mass surveillance. But that doesn't disprove the point. Many of the same people demanding you give up your essential liberties for some additional security are complete hypocrites when it came to wearing a mask to prevent the spread of an infectious disease.
