Proton hosts Flock camera map covering over 300,000 devices
Original title: Proton hosts Flock map revealing over 300k cameras, defying cease-and-desist
The Swiss copy is reachable worldwide, while the original site is US-only and under a cease-and-desist.
Proton AG is hosting a map of Flock cameras that researcher Joshua Michael built from leaked Flock data. Flock sent Michael a cease-and-desist, and his original site can be reached only from the United States. Proton says people have a right to know who is recording them, and Swiss hosting makes takedown action harder.
Unconfirmed: The article does not independently verify the leaked dataset or the camera count.
- The map lists more than 300,000 cameras.
- Michael’s original Flock Surveillance Map remains online.
- Visitors outside the US need a VPN for the original site.
