“It starts with searching for a ‘brown dog’ but means the tech is there for license plate reading
Next comes ‘brown person’.
This is pretty much what I said to my wife while scritching my dogs. First it’ll just be expanded to missing kids and olds, because of course everyone wants to reunite families, but eventually it’ll be something that “law enforcement” can request for whatever the hell they want, because after all they’re the good guys keeping us safe!
You won’t catch me with the Privacy Violator 3000 attached to my home.
Don’t worry, your neighbor across the street has one!
My immediate response to everyone around me when that commercial aired was a loud, “fuck no” followed by a, “if any of you get one I will no longer visit”.
I explained the surveillance state to my kids because of that ad
I’ll stick to Frigate… Wife and I were like “ya, no” when that aired
“It’s for the lost dogs. You want to help lost dogs don’t you? You’re not a monster, are you? Support our nationwide surveillance network or you hate lost dogs!”
Yep. If you have a Ring doorbell, replace it as quickly as possible. It will not only be used against you, but also against your neighbours.
Haha, thanks for exposing yourselves!
Their logic probably was like:
how can we make our users trust us?
How about we tell them that we can view the footage of any ring camera for security purposes? They will love us! They will think we are the ones whom keep this earth safe! We will be their saviors !Very happy to see it backfire.
My Eufy doorbell camera doesn’t do any of this creepy shit
Aren’t those the guys who were found to be sharing everything with everyone and fought back hard against any kind of accountability or even acknowledgement?
I am so glad I never got into Ring. or Alexa, or voice assistants, but I have a roomba so I’m well aware that there’s a minor surveillance appliance in my home too. I regularly go into my privacy settings and wipe my data on Roomba because of it, but unless you’re putting your phone in a faraday cage/bag or storing it securely when you’re not using it, you’re being tracked too.
