    Looking for fido today. Looking for brown skin or Spanish speaking people next. GFY Ring

    They said the quiet part in front of the largest TV audience American broadcast can muster.

    It’s my only reassurance against absolute tyranny that you don’t have to be smart to reach the heights of power.

    Im uninstalling mine. It was terrifying. Im not going to actively contribute to the surveillance state

    I’m not sure if people are catching this but this was in an NBC article about how they got the surveillance video off a camera that didn’t have a cloud subscription in the Guthrie case:

    “The data is being transmitted to the cloud, but even if it had not gotten there, there are many stops in between where data will reside, and the FBI prides itself on being able to tear into these data streams and pull out bits and pieces of data and piece together an image like we see here today,” Gallagher said.

    It’s crazy how people think privacy or the 4th amendment still exists.

  5. One of the more fascinating things to me is when techbros green-light an ad like this because they’re so deep in their bubble they don’t realize how it will read to folks outside their zone.

    This sort of thing *is* the goal. It’s what Ring is *trying to do*. My guess is the people who greenlit this either didn’t focus-group enough to understand how spooky that is to folk who aren’t their customers or decided that they’d have to swing for the fences anyway because those folk will never be their customers.

  6. Yea. I’m sure that they can find your missing dog but they can’t find where grandma Guthrie is. American products. Never designed to help people. Only designed for consumption and control. Anyone with a brain will remove any corporate controlled surveillance products from their homes.

    Literally every dystopian trope used in the 70’s and 80’s is apparently just reality now.

    That was terrible. Like Idunno how you can’t see right past that “we’re looking out for your doggos!” And think “mass surveillance.” Hopefully that was the majority response to that one.

    But my favorite bad one was that mortgage one with the racist white people. My read on that was once again it’s up to minorities to do the work to prove to white people that they’re also people lmfao

    And there are almost no laws regulating the storage/use of all the data being collected by these cameras. It’s wild to me that no politician/party runs on this issue, and voters don’t seem to give a shit.

    I am happy that everyone is having the most appropriate response to this…. because this should be a HELL NO from everyone and terrify people.
