Flock has managed to do what few before have accomplished -- elevated its brand to Google-like status in terms of people associating the entire category of its service with its brand name.

Too bad for them that its for a category that virtually everyone (rightfully, IMO) hates, across all political lines, putting them into a situation where this strong brand recognition is a negative.

Shitty mass-surveillance video device? That's a Flock camera!... even if it isn't actually a Flock camera.

it keeps tagging the repub's favorite people, the police. so yeah flock can't survive, not because of the people, but because of all the bad apples it keeps outing.
