Many have paid the extra $20, but there’s no rush to join them. LarysaP/Shutterstock We don’t need to tell you that Grand Theft Auto VI is set to be the biggest game launch of all time at this point.

From Florida to Washington state, local governments across the country are canceling their contracts with Flock, the company behind the controversial AI-enabled license plate readers, in response to public outcry. But ending the contracts doesn’t necessarily mean the cameras will come down immediately — or that the information they’ve gathered will be deleted anytime soon.Even as state and local governments decide to rein in their surveillance capabilities, uncertainty remains about what Flock can and will do with data that has already been collected.
