Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

In my small town they just so happen to be at the same intersection as all the Flock cameras. 🤔🤔🤔

Home Depot right after they said they weren’t using surveillance to track people or immigrants in their parking lots.

People have been going around and removing/destroying them around where Im at. Its funny, its causing a minor monetary issue for the city since they partner with them.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Did they really say that? There's 2 in front of my home depot as well

Oh wait you're banned

Destroy the cameras on your march. Two birds. One stone.

Perfect opportunity for someone to deploy some spray paint.

Painter's extension pole and a small 3-inch roller and a quart of black paint, will do the trick if the cameras are up high.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Paint the solar panel. Then the camera will die a day later and they are non the wiser. Probably takes them a while to figure out the solar panel is painted if you paint them in the same color as the panel.

[–] kn33@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Spray paint on a stick will probably give better coverage.

[–] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago

Be brave. Go anyway. Talk to the organizers. Let them know that the cameras might scare people away. Offer some valid, reasonable alternatives.

Lots of people will probably be filming and streaming on their phones anyway, so you're going to be filmed and recorded and posted publicly in all likelihood. Not that it's the same thing as the flock cams, but

Hey same here!

God thata such a really weird coincidence.

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Right? What are the odds that flock cameras would be setup at busy intersections where people would also want to protest?

[–] SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

France knows how to deal with unwanted cameras

Since the No Kings protesters won't do anything to attract ICE so they can get a picture of you for face recognition, how else are they supposed to get some ID of you to purge you from the voter rolls?
