Reminds me of this...

Why do they have cameras in these places. Is a kids gymnastics room a high crime area!?

[–] cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 50 points 1 month ago

Well we live in a world literally run by pedophiles now, so sadly probably yes. I doubt that's what the cameras are for though.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

Parents were tired of pedos and politicians coming to their gyms so they installed cameras for them to use instead.

Places I’ve been don’t want kids to run over to their parents mid-class, so they put them in a waiting room, and since parents want to watch their class they tend to have a tv running in that room

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is correct. I was a musical theater performer for decades and grew up in several dance studios, and they're always equipped with either a one-way mirror in a room where the parents can watch without being disruptive, or cameras.

But after the events of the past two years, we know definitively that the Epstein class is untouchable and entrenched in every detail of society and that every device with a camera or microphone and a wireless connection is spying on us. It would not surprise me to learn that Flock is collating the data received from such places and selling it to pedophiles for their entertainment.

They can do it and cover it up by "getting hacked"

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 month ago

Gee I wonder why kids have anxiety. Must be the phones and not shoving surveilance cameras everywhere

I hate the fact that The Onion is basically reporting reality nowadays.

The Residents in the Republican Area were FURIOUS that their Elected Officials DIDNT Share the footage with THEM! OTHERWISE why would they Keep Electing the People SPYING on Children?

Flock Cameras in Children's Gymnastics Room

[–] TransNeko@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Don't worry it could be worse... Flock could be setting up cameras in bathrooms... oh wait... nvm.

University of Maryland installed Flock cameras in their bathrooms to "combat indecency and voyeurism." boy... I can think of several reasons not to have cameras in a bathroom (other than that it's illegal to do so)

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

At Beverly hills high school they literally do have microphones in the school bathrooms

[–] TransNeko@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

ew.

and let me guess... the people who happen to have access to those microphones are white men.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 month ago

Somewhat tangential, but who were these clients for this sales demo? Someone building Epstein Island 2.0 with live feeds?

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Next, they are accessing cameras in childrens changing rooms in true GOP fashion.
