• Surveillance Without Cameras
    Dec 16 2025
    You don’t need cameras to be tracked anymore. You don’t need microphones. You just need to exist. This episode of The Beacon looks at emerging surveillance tech that tracks people through Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signal distortion. No faces. No names. No consent. Just patterns and presence. This isn’t science fiction and it isn’t harmless. It’s about where surveillance is heading, and how freedom of movement erodes when the room itself becomes the sensor.

    You’ve never heard of Flock? Don’t worry, they’ve probably heard of you. If you’ve driven anywhere in America lately, odds are their cameras caught you, logged you, and filed you away. Maybe once. Maybe dozens of times a day. In this episode, we break down who Flock Safety is, how their surveillance grid works, and what it means for something most people take for granted: the freedom to move without being tracked.

    In this episode, we shine a light on the subtle ways influence shapes the media you consume. From algorithms and ad placements to affiliate links and platform pressure, you’ll see how content is guided long before it reaches your screen. We’ll explore why “independent” doesn’t always mean free from influence, how creators adjust to survive within the system, and what that means for your attention. This is about observation, not outrage, a clear look at the mechanics behind the content you think you choose. If you want a straightforward, no-nonsense glimpse behind the curtain, this episode is the place to start.
