Funny - I was just reading about the creator of Ethernet this morning (Robert Metcalfe):

In 1995, Metcalfe argued that the Internet would suffer a "catastrophic collapse" in the following year; he promised to eat his words if it did not. During his keynote speech at the sixth International World Wide Web Conference in 1997, he took a printed copy of his column that predicted the collapse, put it in a blender with some liquid and then consumed the pulpy mass.[26][27] He had suggested having his words printed on a very large cake, but the audience would not accept this form of "eating his words."[28]

I believe they've also been in the US for 20 years. However, they aren't centralized like Flock. Flock cameras also all look the same so it's more present and in people's faces. The opposition to these is really heating up right now.

Is there any type of internal support where you're allowed to chat about it?

I think it was around the late 90s - but my hometown actually had a Gateway retail store where you could tinker with a lot of their products.

I've mentioned this on HN before. But it's pretty disgusting that the DC Lottery can advertise here on local TV.

I think this was true in the 90s and 2000s. When not everyone was a script kiddie. But why hire someone that literally didn't write their own exploit? Sounds like the most advanced thing they did was just social engineering and dumping a DB.
