Is this not libel?
> The site’s only input fields accept license plate numbers (which are hashed client-side before transmission and cannot be harvested) License plates are trivially short, hashing them accomplishes no additional level of privacy if the hashes could be bruted in seconds on an antique GPU.
I think it'd sound pretty dumb.
Absolutely unacceptable behavior. Wild that Americans are so distracted by pointless social issues that they haven’t even realized the ruling elite are treating them like cattle. Absolutely pathetic.
America is huge and there's a lot of exceptionally stupid people especially in the South and Midwest. Not much I can do about that over here in the coastal Northeast.

Technically true. Flock could present an unfounded argument that I might be brute-forcing my own security and privacy measures. I think it'd sound pretty dumb.
If Flock truly believed that the domain name infringes on their trademark, they would file an ICANN UDRP complaint instead of Cloudflare and Hetzner abuse reports. But they don't, because the former would require them to perjure themselves, and the latter just requires them to lie to a hosting company.
I wonder if Flock + Cyble can be sued for fraud. There are 5 elements in a fraud: Misrepresentation of Fact Knowledge of Falsity Intent to Induce Reliance Justifiable Reliance Resulting Damages

The pointless social issues are manufactured specifically in order to distract Americans from the fact they are being treated like cattle.
> are manufactured specifically the fact that these majority do accept the distraction points to lack of intelligence and discipline in critical thinking and future planning. The populous has half the blame - not just those who do these manufacturing of distractions.

Cloudflare would have to bring that suit since they were the ones defrauded. The site owners probably can't sue Cloudflare because of their contract. So the site owners probably have to go basic "tortious interference" and be ready to show actual damages.

I was offended and then I defined "exceptionally stupid" a few ways and all the statistics support this claim. I'm still offended though. Fucking a lot of smart people in Mass., Vermont, Conn., New York, Maryland, DC.
This is a Y Combinator company? https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/flock-safety dang/tomhow, does Y Combinator have a code of ethics that comes into play when one of your funding recipients does something unethical and/or illegal like this?
One long-standing code is that they moderate YC companies less on HN, allowing criticisms like yours to stand: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34320816 To HN's credit I haven't seen this rule violated. For example I wouldn't have known it was a YC company if not for your comment.
Well, that’s what dang says he does. There’s no transparency and no publicly available data that would demonstrate adherence to the rule.

I don’t think you’d observe anything different if it were violated.
