Flock's "audit assistance tool", launched about June 2026 (Langley to CNN)

set aside as
NOT FOUND
the researcher's note
Flock's "audit assistance tool", launched about June 2026 (Langley to CNN). A real remedy on the stalking loss — it flags "abnormal" use to an auditor — but the company publishes no count of flagged or blocked searches, so it cannot be filed as a remedy line.
