    wouldn't it be dystopian secrecy cause a flock camera is equally capable of watching the mathematicians as it is the public citizens.

      Maybe mathematicians are smart enough to never ever buy such piece of shit on higher principle, regardless of their actual fiasco?

        I am a (former) mathematician and know many more.

        They are not. Mathematicians are as human as most of the rest of us here.

        Individuals aren’t the ones buying Flock cameras.
