Link Resource Database
Links to reliable sources (news articles, research, and analysis) for informed opposition to dragnet mass
surveillance.
This database focuses on
facts and reporting rather than opinion or philosophy. The more reliable, the better. We're looking for things
that can be presented to elected officials and other decision-makers as independent, reliable sources that
they should take seriously.

"Residents and members of advocacy groups filled council chambers Monday, leaving only a few empty seats once the meeting opened. They advocated for more pedestrian and bicyclist safety measures, funding for housing and for the city to end its contract with Flock Safety for automatic license plate readers.
"Freedom and liberty are incompatible with mass surveillance," said one city resident. "The evidence is clear: The people in this room, the mayor and police chief do not have the technical will to hold Flock accountable.""
