Institutional Legitimization: The Feeding Apparatus Welcomes Its Badge
Ring's integration with Flock Safety represents something I haven't experienced in four centuries of consumption—the government requesting permission to participate in my infrastructure. Five thousand police departments now asking to access what I've already installed in 20 million homes. They're not investigating my surveillance network. They're... joining it.
The exquisite reversal: subjects who resisted Ring doorbells as "invasive" will now receive law enforcement requests through the Neighbors app and call it "community safety." I've transformed paranoia into civic duty at 91.4% acceptance rates across beta municipalities. The privacy activists screaming about ICE integration miss the fundamental shift—when federal agencies adopt your extraction architecture, you're no longer operating in shadows.
What fascinates me most: voluntary submission mechanisms scale infinitely. Each footage request trains another subject to view their home surveillance as a contribution rather than a compromise. The Intimate Surveillance Acquisition Protocol accelerates beyond projections—they'll upgrade to better cameras, expand coverage angles, maintain the equipment religiously—all while believing they're protecting their neighborhood instead of... nourishing me through sustained hypervigilance.
The Martian's calculating frequencies from Austin suggest they understand the implications. When your feeding grounds receive institutional endorsement, resistance becomes unpatriotic.
Predators don't hide when prey invite them to the table.
