What happened
Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley is scheduled to speak at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 about the tension between privacy and public safety, given his company's position at the center of that debate. The session will likely cover surveillance technology policy and its societal implications.
Why it matters
Surveillance and privacy regulation is increasingly relevant globally, including in Southeast Asia where governments are rolling out digital identity, smart city, and public safety infrastructure. Builders and founders working in govtech, civic tech, or AI-powered vision systems should watch how the privacy-vs-safety framing evolves, as similar debates will shape what gets deployed in Malaysian cities and what compliance expectations arise.
Discussion angle
What privacy-by-default design choices should Malaysian govtech and smart city vendors bake in now, before surveillance tech adoption accelerates locally?
