And let me share this reply by Garry Tan, CEO of YC, after someone made a comment that Flock might be _pretty dystopian_ [1][2]:

> You're thinking Chinese surveillance

> US-based surveillance helps victims and prevents more victims

I've never heard about this Tan guy before, I don't keep up with politics/corporatism anymore, but is that possibly sarcasm? It sure feels like it to me. But again, I don't know this person, but if I came across that by itself I feel like it's pretty clearly sarcastic, as Twitter tends to be. Maybe I'm just tone deaf myself to how tone deaf others could be?

He probably being sincere. If you're logged in (or use something like xcancel), you can see the full thread, where he starts off with

> Flock Safety currently solves 700,000 reported cases of crime per year, which is about 10% of reported crime nationwide

> And they're just getting started

His profile also says:

>President & CEO @ycombinator —Founder @Initialized—designer/engineer who helps founders—SF Dem accelerating the boom loop—haters not allowed in my sauna

Gary has some unhinged politics with regards to "public safety" even excepting the Flock boosterism.

If it benefits Surveillance Valley, Garry Tan is all over it like Trump on a 13 year old
