    Will the ‘ban’ really make a difference? You’ll still be able to download the app from the App Store registered elsewhere and a VPN can get around blocking.

      It won’t get updates if blocked. Moreover, when a newer operating system is uploaded on your phone, the app won’t meet its standard and will become obsolete (slowly)

      @WillNewcomb  U.S. account or not, if an app is no longer supported by iOs or UI, can it still function? Now, if you have an old phone and you never install system updates, then I can see a VPN working.

    TikTok is NOT free speech, it prevents many from having accounts. So that argument doesn’t hold

    Bs. TikTok pays people more than other social networks. Zuckerberg admitted to sharing people’s data and they are still around. This smells fishy

Flock Safety sits at the intersection of an increasingly intense debate around the spread of surviellance technology, AI, and who’s using all of that information and to what ends. Founder and CEO Garrett Langley spoke at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 to defend his stance that Flock is a net positive in the face of concerns about its work monitoring communities, cities, and enabling data sharing across law enforcement agencies.

As a sign of that backlash, as Langley spoke on stage, a protest against Flock was taking place outside of Moscone West in San Francisco.

TechCrunch’s Equity podcast team took over the Builders Stage Tuesday morning to tackle a growing challenge for the AI industry: What happens when AI agents go off-script, and who’s responsible for keeping them in check?

Recent incidents, from Anthropic pulling internal evaluations off the live internet after agents misbehaved to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella calling for an “emergency brake” on AI models, have brought agent security into focus. The Equity team unpacked whether the problem calls for better engineering, new regulation, or both, and why startups are raising millions to secure AI agents.
