Leftists LOVE to do those kinds of things to "stick it in the faces" of the compliant "sheeple". Do you recall the name of the illegal and unconstitutional FBI probe into Donald Trump they named "Arctic Frost"?
Gee. An illegal surveillance of a sitting President they call "Orange Man" is code named after an orange tree.
Could be a coincidence, but I think not. They are so arrogantly proud of their "cleverness" and take great internal joy in it.
So, if they named it "Flock" for those reasons, it would not surprise me in the least.
