Flock Decides Not to Use Hacked Data in People Search Tool | The move comes after internal pressure and 404 Media’s reporting


The move comes after internal pressure and 404 Media’s reporting.

The surveillance company Flock told employees at an all-hands meeting Friday that its new people search product, Nova, will not include hacked data from the dark web. We ran this concept through the policy review process, we vetted it with product leaders, with our executive team, and we made the decision to not supply dark web data through the Nova platform to law enforcement at all.” Flock said in its Friday blog that the company will supply customers with "public records information, Open-Source intelligence, and license plate reader data."
