The internet is losing it.
Not that indiscriminate. Flock cameras are concentrated in marginalized communities: https://ideas.repec.org/p/osf/socarx/d6j3b_v2.html
A garbage bag works too. It’s also apt.
Just use crazy glue
Don’t print this if your printer has one of those internet-connected ghost gun print scanning systems.
People who are motivated to print and deploy these are likely not going to have one of those compromised printers.
Maybe out of people in this community and maybe for now. I checked just now and was surprised that even though Bambu has been making all their printers dependent on cloud services and closed source software, they apparently don’t send all your prints to a government-affiliated entity for approval yet. But it’s going to be law in California and New York so expect most printers sold in the US to have this in the future, and most cloud-dependent printers already sold in the US to add it on so they can continue selling their current models.
Why not tie a plastic bag on it though
this has shown not to be effective flock just sends someone to remove it, only sawing the pole off is, it makes them waste more resources putting up a new one.

The dude they send out to remove my fancy new rainbow sparkle camera faceplate, how much you suppose they pay him per hour? I bet I can make them send him out here at least a dozen times on a single $15 roll of PLA, and I (probably) wouldn’t catch charges if they caught me with it.
Scratch the lens?
Give me 4 hours, some duct tape, and some old cardboard and I can make more than one Flock Camera UV Protection Cover. Biodegradable too. For the most part.
Sawzall blades are cheaper and actually remove the offending infrastructure. Faraday cage the electronics until they naturally discharge. Harvest the goodies thereafter. Be smart. Be safe. De-flock.
Vaseline is cheap and accomplishes the same result
Silicone spray…once a surface is contaminated with silicone there’s virtually nothing that can clean it off other than gasoline or similar molecules.
This makes me wonder if it’d be possible to print some transparent stickers with some kind of noise pattern that is very subtle, but enough to disrupt any kind of detailed image recognition.
Then maybe it’d go undetected for a while, potentially, but basically would turn the camera into a cctv camera.
