史上最令人毛骨悚然的“销售演示”
The creepiest 'sales demo' of all time

2025年9月30日,Flock Safety的一名高管通过当地警察局的监控网络,访问了位于邓伍迪(Dunwoody)一家儿童体操中心内的私人摄像头。尽管Flock公司和市政府官员声称此次事件是一次“经授权的销售演示”,但该市未能提供任何证明此类协议存在的相关文件。 外界仍存有疑问:为什么针对执法部门的演示需要查看儿童设施内的私人摄像头?特别是考虑到该系统的整合初衷仅是为了“实时应对紧急事件”。此事件引发了人们对监控伦理以及私营科技公司与市政警察局之间合作透明度的担忧。

一份近期的报告指出,佐治亚州邓伍迪市发生了一起引发争议的事件:Flock Safety 公司的一名高管进入了一间儿童体操房内,访问了由警方监控的实时摄像头。尽管 Flock 公司和市政府官员将此事件描述为“授权的销售演示”,但缺乏相关记录以及这种侵入性的访问方式,引发了严重的隐私担忧和公众抗议。 《黑客新闻》(Hacker News)对这一新闻的讨论主要集中在两个方面: 1. **监控担忧:** 用户对人工智能赋能的持续监控常态化表示愤怒,并讨论这些系统究竟是为了安全所必需,还是创造了可被不法分子利用的危险安全漏洞。 2. **GDPR 地理封锁:** 讨论中相当大一部分转向了关于新闻网站为何对欧盟用户进行地理封锁的争论。批评者认为,封锁只是一种规避 GDPR 合规的懒惰替代方案;而支持者则认为,对于小型本地媒体而言,相较于欧洲流量带来的微薄收入,法律和技术合规的成本高得令人望而却步。 归根结底,该讨论帖不仅是对现代数字隐私日益侵蚀的批判,也反映了媒体可访问性方面日益扩大的技术鸿沟。

On Sept. 30, 2025, a Flock vice president logged into the Dunwoody PD’s Flock system and looked at a camera in the children’s gymnastics room of a private community center here in Dunwoody.

He did not look at any other cameras in the entire 400-camera network that day.

The community center shared their cameras directly to the PD under the pretense that access was “solely for real-time critical incident response.”

Flock and Dunwoody elected officials both say this was for a “sales demo.” They claim this was “part of authorized activity approved under the city's demo partner agreement.”

The problem with that is that the city cannot provide any information that that demo partner agreement exists.

What kind of sales demo would require looking at one camera in a children’s gymnastics room? Can anyone rationally explain why a police agency that is interested in Flock would like to see one third-party camera integration that is in a children’s gymnastics room?

Jason Hunyar lives in Dunwoody.
