>This idea that there's some kind of difference between me watching you in public and Flock watching you in public is, quite frankly, bogus.

The idea that me an individual observing you, and a large, well funded company allied with the US government observing you has no difference, quite frankly, leads me to conclude* you are arguing in bad faith.

You can make an ideological argument that is the case, but not one based on fact and reality.
