It is such a double-edged sword. On one hand, warning about Flock cameras and mass surveillance is super important, and reaching a huge mainstream audience outside his usual one makes sense in theory.

On the other hand, going on a show built on conspiracy theories, anti-science rhetoric, and hate really hurts the cause.

When you deliver a crucial message in a space like that, you risk damaging your own credibility. So many people will just dismiss Benn and the warning entirely because of the platform.

Where you speak often matters just as much as what you say. I just hope the actual privacy message doesn’t get completely lost in the noise.
