Surveillance company Flock sent a cease-and-desist letter telling a private group to stop discussing surveillance tech

Flock threatens to sue a private group in Southern California that meets regularly to hold discussions and Q&As about diplomacy, law, and philosophy.

It demands that they do not "analyze" or "speculate" on the security vulnerabilities we've confirmed when talking about government surveillance.

I’m not sure how an entity can demand people not talk about them, but I expect discovery would be fun.
