    As a polite reminder there’s a map of these cameras and if you see a camera not on the map, you can add it.

      Bloody hell, I knew they were around, but not that they had rolled out that much already.

      Its an app called deflock and its on github. There’s also a group called deflock to further expose them. They’ve called them domestic terrorist.

        OF COURSE they called them domestic terrorists. That’s what all authoritarian regimes call groups that are a threat to them. 🙄

        Ah, their website says the app is coming soon. Didn’t even think to check GitHub. Thanks!

          You can add it to Obtanium to keep it updated as well. Obtaniun is an awesome app that let’s you add all repositories to it and it keeps the app updated whenever a new version is added to github.

              You just copy and paste the direct link to the github repository and click add! Took me a while to get it figured out.

        Deflock.me you might have to copy/paste. But if you clicked it right after I posted it, I I had an extra letter in there, it’s fixed.
