This movement reminds me of the "protecting democracy" message that was run on the national stage that pailed against the backdrop of rising inflation.

Privacy is important just as democracy is important, but crime and lawlessness feel more immediate and will always take center stage.

Any message to try to address the spread of flock and flock-like business models have to address what replaces it. If the only choice people are given is either having flock, or car break-ins, then I think we can probably guess what people would choose.

SFPD at least, has credited flock and flock-like tech for why property crime has dropped so much in recent years.
