Anti Surveillance Anarchist Poster Targets Flock Safety and AI Policing Infrastructure
Source: Unravel NoBlogs
Executive Summary
A newly circulated anarchist poster titled “Fuck This Shit No Flock Cameras - No AI Tech Dystopia” calls for resistance against automated license plate readers and AI enabled surveillance systems, specifically targeting Flock Safety camera networks. The poster frames these technologies as tools of repression that enable policing, immigration enforcement, and social control, and it situates opposition within a broader anti authoritarian and anti capitalist worldview. While the messaging is aggressive and absolutist, the content functions primarily as propaganda and awareness raising rather than operational guidance.
Analysis
The poster reflects a growing strain of militant anti surveillance activism that portrays data collection technologies as precursors to authoritarian governance and mass repression.
The poster explicitly opposes Flock Safety automated license plate readers, claiming they collect and store vehicle movement data in national databases accessible to police and immigration authorities, including ICE.
It asserts that AI driven surveillance has already been used for personal abuse, interstate tracking, and criminal prosecution related to abortion access, framing the technology as inherently dangerous regardless of stated security benefits.
The text argues that normalization of constant surveillance creates a passive population more willing to accept future abuses, drawing historical parallels between early policing powers and later militarized raids and detention systems.
The poster includes QR codes and links directing viewers to anarchist affiliated websites and resources, including Unravel.noblogs.org, DeFlock.me, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s surveillance resources. These links suggest an intent to funnel readers toward further ideological material, privacy advocacy, and potentially future mobilization. Although the language includes inflammatory slogans such as “death to surveillance,” it does not provide instructions for sabotage or violence, instead relying on rhetorical escalation and symbolic rejection of state and corporate monitoring.
