Let’s be honest, Ring was already some technocratic, dystopian BS, but if you needed a reason to finally, finally kill it with fire, here’s your reason: Ring is partnering with Flock to help ICE spy on you and your neighbors for the government 👀

@adastra1930 I do not appreciate being recorded all over the place by fearful fcktards.
Even though the article is old (in a 24-hour news cycle this is ancient) def appreciate the post because I somehow missed hearing about this...no doubt they wanted this to fly under the radar.

Instead just like the insanity that no matter what country you are in, your gmail is stored and read in the USA, so it is that no matter where you are the data from the cameras are also under USA (or China depending on the model) control.
Everything in your life like that is at risk of being locked out any time.

@RiaResists @adastra1930 Not forgetting when the only available parking spot is between two sodding Teslas.
I am considering getting some "Stasicar" stickers made up so that I can quickly disable the B-pillar cameras that greet me as I get out of my car.
Those naive shits who thought that Musk was a visionary have a lot to answer for (even ignoring the fact that they have helped make him the worlds richest Nazi).

@humaninquirer well, there’s a lot going on at the moment, to be fair

It all came with my house and I took it down as soon as I could.

But best eliminate the central access.
