The idea that there's not a scale difference is, quite frankly, bogus.

Okay, can you articulate the difference?

I don't disagree that quantity has a quality of it's own in some circumstances, but that's not an inherent property of "quantity".

		You peeking out your curtains at me is fine. It doesn’t scale. Everyone doing it 24/7 via their cameras and running it through AI analysis and providing it to the cops for $$$ is not.

		The difference is that Flock is stalking me, not incidentally watching me.

To paraphrase the quote, quantity has a quality of its own.
