I think that any headline informing you of the goings-on in the city council of Bandera, Texas (population 829) is necessarily sensational. If you don't live in the area, there's no possible value to this content other than confirming preconceived biases.

I’m guessing he was the local politician who was receiving kickbacks then.

I wish they were all this easy to spot.

This has not happened with Flock, nor have they ever been accused of this. And what a weak conspiracy style post to insinuate it has.

Sure they have. Just look at the accusation in the comment you're replying to.

It's disappointing on HN that I'm being downvoted for pointing out that the top comment on the article is just a baseless conspiracy.

Does Texas have open records law for politicians? He's taking this personally, which means he has a personal stake in the outcome.

Doesn't he know you have to be tech-coded to have unhinged takes on the necessity and inevitability of ubiquitous intrusive surveillance and be taken seriously?

:) he's not wrong, it is all surveillance

Since these town council members are elected, I hope this guy has no aspirations of getting elected again, because he basically just showed everyone in his town that he can't be reasonable - that it is either none (no electronics at all) or all (privacy invading stuff like Flock)

Sounds like it is the ripe time for others to respond earnestly with a GDPR-like proposal for all internet and phone providers :)
