Flock SafetyCorporate defendant speaking through its court-filed motion

Responding to

Flock is not liable under the California plaintiffs' theories because customers control sharing, its practices meet its duties and the alleged harm is insufficiently pleaded.

“Sharing options are customer-controlled: each customer can choose to share access to its data with others on a one-to-one basis or on a geographic basis.”
