Well that's... Unexpected from Proton. I was thinking it was a fake URL at first until I retyped it manually. Nice!

    To me it's not so surprising, they've done other kinds of viral and guerilla marketing. Last one was download your info from competing chat bots and let you figure out how much they know about you. My opinion is those are smart moves that can don't cost a lot of money for the reach it gets them. Also considering the US is a large market and their mission of replacing the Apple / Google ecosystems with better alternatives kind of requires large markets to succeed, this (again) shows thet are not only in the business to serve Europeans.

    I'm glad they are bringing more awareness, but they are missing a lot of cameras near me.

    Are they going to start a OSM backed maps app?

    As a company, Proton is striking me as Lawful Neutral; they have their code to live by and it will be followed. Not your code, their code. Take it or leave it.

    Given the news about everyone else and their dealings... I dunno, I feel like this is a (performative?) step in the right direction overall.

    I don't hate it, and it is reassuring to see this is where their development money goes as I already pay them for services, but only time will tell what their actual ethics really are. Corporates gonna corporate one way or another.

    The digital world I was promised in my youth and the one I exist within as an adult are frighteningly different and I kinda hate it.

    This dataset is snapshot from a december 2025 leak, and may therefore contain inaccurate/outdated listings.

    Anyone know what's the difference between this and sites like https://deflock.org/?

    Via their FAQ:

    The data on the map above is a mirror of an inventory of Flock devices that security researcher Joshua Michael retrieved from Flock's own systems through an access token Flock had left exposed. Maps like DeFlock rely on volunteers reporting cameras they spot; this inventory comes from Flock's records.
