How this statement is classified
The label describes this statement's response within the context above.
Why this label?
The reference point is whether Flock should require Michael to remove his surveillance-camera map and related material. Flock's counsel demanded removal of material that discloses information obtained from its systems, an end to access and written confirmation by September 28, and said Flock was prepared to pursue legal remedies. Demanding removal on those terms fits Defended or excused. The closest competing label is Mixed or conditional, which would fit an offer to resolve the matter on narrower terms; the letter ties resolution without litigation to complete compliance.

“[I]t is ridiculous that a company that clearly does not care about other people's privacy at all is suddenly incredibly worried about its own privacy, and and I would say that if there is a group out there that is actively trying to protect Flock's privacy, maybe their efforts would be better concentrated on protecting the privacy of everybody else”Read statement
