Flock Safety, co-founded by Garrett Langley in 2017, has installed cameras in over 4,000 cities across 42 states with backing from Peter Thiel. Langley promoted the system as a way to eliminate crime, yet reports show false arrests and widespread privacy concerns. The cartoon depicts Langley consuming a map of the US as cameras proliferate, underscoring the editorial view that the company's growth represents an unchecked invasion of public privacy.
A television screen erupts in flames and smoke labeled dollar boom while a seated man informs a standing woman that the blasts represent the news. The scene highlights sensational coverage of financial and conflict stories dominating broadcasts. The cartoon from May 2025 captures public reaction to nonstop dramatic reporting.
The image displays four panels in front of a building labeled THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY. Graduates in caps and gowns appear with a Palestinian flag and a banner reading GAZA SOLIDARITY ENCAMPMENT. Police officers in helmets stand near orange tents. One panel shows a scroll exchange. Another shows a baton swing toward a banner. The artist signature KUPER is in the bottom right. Columns and steps form the background across all panels.
