On Friday, 56 content creators with a combined audience of 46 million people wrote to Lowe’s and Home Depot executives, demanding the companies cancel contracts with Flock, the notorious surveillance vendor that shares its database with ICE agents.

    How and when did humanity go so badly wrong that the Home Depot would ever even begin to consider the possibility of outsourcing the surveillance of its customers to Flock? Who did I see lately calling for a revolution? Maybe they were right. This alone is enough to condemn the present order of things.

    I’m sure they will get right on that… not.

    A bunch of random Youtube narcissists demand a boycott?

    Hell, Home Depot and Lowes are virtual monopolies in a lot of areas.

    Also I’m not buying the “combined audience of 46 million people”
