It would've been easy to bash Flock in Senate today, but the reality is that this crisis would've not happened had there been any form of regulation or guard rails. So, let's demand them. And let's vote with the same ferocity we post with.

NO. "Regulation" and "guardrails" are NOT an acceptable outcome. There is NO acceptable vote for the surveillance of Americans. NO surveillance is the only acceptable vote.

Benn, I love the work you do, but I fundamentally disagree with this angle. These devices are dangerous infringements on privacy and liberty. The ACLU lawyer up there with you said no amount of regulations or safeguards he could think to write could get rid of the loopholes, and his entire job is to find ways to eliminate them. I think your angle of approach as regulatory instead of abolition empowers too many opaque orgs that will not self regulate even with laws in place. There are regs RIGHT NOW that law enforcement can't do XYZ with it, yet they do all the time! Regulations would not fix the problem and only give them cover to continue to deploy across the country. I wish you would stick with your technological expertise on this and leave the legal wrangling to other professionals like that ACLU attorney who know better.

They all need to come down. Regulations won't stop their abuse. No one ever gets charged. Nothing ever happens.

No, just plain NO to being under 24/7 investigation without a specific warrant for a specific person for a specific reason. “Guardrails/regulations” are not the solution for those who don’t want to be investigated in the first place.

no matter what ridiculous guardrails you put up, there will be endless loopholes to get around them or someone who will just disregard them entirely. prove that there will be actual accountability with ANYTHING first.

So they will take these bureaucratic steps to make these surveillance companies "safe," but what you are not getting right is that these gigantic corporations will just find some kind of loophole or hide something very well, so what you are asking will eventually be useless.

Surveillance with “guardrails” is still surveillance. No!

Congress will do the exact opposite, unfortunately.

Same kind of regulation and guard rails for FISA data that is constantly violated across all facets of the government? The act of gathering the data without consent is the violation and needs to be stopped.

Guardrails will never be enough. They have to come down.

Nup, get them the fuck out regulation and guard rails didn't help the UK girls with it's mass surveillance state.

Damn that was well said!

Regulations that can come and go at the whim of whatever loon we install as president are not safeguards they are pacifiers.

Hey, you look very different in the suit hahaha , I thought I saw someone familiar. Keep up the good work !

NO CAMERAS AT ALL!

Well said sir. I think the unfortunate truth is none of those people you spoke to actually work for us. They just want to appear as though they do. But I’m glad you had an opportunity to reach a wider audience than you would otherwise have. Keep up the great work!

Flashbulb senatemaxxing is wild bro

Senate hearing Benn Jordan is my favorite Benn Jordan !!!

Excellent work Benn

Get em Killa 🏴‍☠️

when are you going on michael malice's show

Thank you Benn. I personally appreciate your efforts your YouTube channel and your posts. ( your music plugins are pretty good too!! )

What most seem to miss about the regulations and guardrails is when a company is formed and GRC is skipped or sidelined. We need a law that forces insurance companies to require GRC before production for data, AI, machine learning, etc…

Dear officers, "Laptops down, eyes on the road...it's for our safety"

Great job 👍

what an absolute legend

Next can we get rid of credit reports

Makes me so proud to see you testifying to the senate. Hopefully they take you seriously.

Nice glasses! Wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea to schedule these posts between 7 a.m.-noon over the late night posting. Seems like nowadays later night posts get lost in the sauce sometimes.

1:40 - @TaylorLorenz seems like the thing you've been waiting for might be finally happening

It’s crazy to me that there still exist people like you who do not understand that “regulations” and “guard rails” will be maneuvered around and outright ignored. The deployment and use of the technology itself needs to be prohibited

Avoiding the bullet. Smart.

Americans have been “demanding” things from their government for centuries
