dyauspitr 10 hours agoWhat sort of legal case does flock have for something people are mapping out in public?FireBeyond 6 hours agoTheir claim, rightly or wrongly, is that it came from private data (a researcher got an exposed key and downloaded data with coordinates).But I think as long as Proton wasn't that researcher, there's no case to argue there.
