Chris Larsen, billionaire founder of Ripple, has faced criticism from his 19-year-old son over his financial backing of surveillance technology used by San Francisco police, including Flock cameras. Larsen, who has donated millions to fund the expansion of these tools to address crime, said his son told him, "I'd rather have the crime than the surveillance." The pushback was discussed on the podcast "On with Kara Swisher" published Monday. Larsen acknowledged the disagreement within his own family.
