Surveillance firm Flock cuts staff amid privacy backlash
Original: Surveillance company Flock cuts staff as privacy backlash grows Flock would not say if CEO Garrett Langley would take a
Surveillance company Flock has laid off staff as criticism of its license-plate reading and camera networks intensifies over privacy concerns. The company declined to say whether CEO Garrett Langley would take a pay cut following the reduction in workforce. The move comes as cities and civil liberties groups increasingly push back against the firm's widespread surveillance technology.
Why now: The layoffs coincide with growing public and political criticism of Flock's surveillance practices, making the company's handling of both staff and leadership scrutiny newsworthy.
