They say 10M pets are lost per year & their service finds "more than 1 dog per day." So let's even say generously 500 dogs per year.
Out of 10M lost pets, they want Americans to commit privacy suicide for a .005% success rate???
"We fail 99.995% of the time! Let us violate your privacy!" is a helluva way to burn $10M in ads and destroy your brand.

@QasimRashid It's was never about finding lost pets.

@QasimRashid I've had a number of crimes happen at my house that should have been captured by various types of online cameras. Without fail, the cameras capture 10 hours of cars passing and squirrels playing, but misses the precise 30 seconds when that guy is smashing in my front door. It's uncanny.

@QasimRashid i did the same math in my head when i saw that ad. i bought a ring camera a long time ago simply wanting an easy way to look at my garden. didn't mean to join the dystopian surveillance state.
curious if people have a recommendation for an outdoor solar-powered non-dystopian camera?

@QasimRashid Please and thank you. Uninstall that piece of surveillance crap. They pad their profits by selling data to ICEholes. IOW, you're paying ding-a-ring to spy on you. What a fucking racket.

@QasimRashid You kept your RING while knowing that it was snitching to the police and decided to uninstall it only now, after you saw a stupid ad?

Interesting take.... Today it could be used with facial recognition to look for illegal immigrants.
Tomorrow is could be used to hunt for those that refuse to take the mark of the beast. (So they are also illegal.)
If they had rolled out this technology a few years earlier, they could have used it to hunt for those who still had not taken their clot-shot. But they will get another chance for that with the next virus they release.

@QasimRashid I say sabotage against ring doorbells is 'OK' at this point since it could literally save lives.
Edit: are the rest of the people who replied about you owning a ring or that they don't care, actually real? Did they read what you wrote? I don't think so.

@keithpjolley @QasimRashid if it connects to "the cloud" it's not safe.

@QasimRashid If nothing else, people should start a campaign of putting stickers over ring cams... kids like doing that kind of thing.

@QasimRashid @bontchev They've been handing data to cops without much constraints for many years now so unfortunately most people who have one were already fine with that. That stuff has been in the national news periodically since early 2019. Amazon bought them in 2018. So pretty much if the device has Amazon branding you can be pretty confident that it was purchased after the whole thing was already known to be a poorly controlled government surveillance network.

I said that in jest. But in every joke is some element of truth.
"Do not attribute to malice what can be attributed to ignorance."
But maybe also don't attribute to ignorance what can be attributed to greed.
I'm not in to conspiracy theories. So I'm not going to bite easily when I hear there is an unnamed "they" that's doing malicious virus releases.
I'll stick to blaming ignorance first... then greed...
This looks like greed. The data is very valuable... then abuse.

@QasimRashid it was never about finding pets. It's about finding enemies of the state.
And for those who think this is overly harsh or paranoid, please take a moment to read up on fascism.
