    Dystopia notwithstanding, Ring's commercial about using their surveillance to find lost pets makes no sense.

    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.

    I'm uninstalling my RING today.

      @QasimRashid I’ve been a happy Eufy user for many years. The video is stored inside my house. Ring has always scared me with their poor security of data

        Way ahead of you there. I've never installed, nor would ever consider, a Ring, Alexa, Siri, or other spy device, especially one connected to an evil megacorporation.

          @QasimRashid I dumped ring after the first time they started hanging out access to people’s videos. It’s amazing that people still trust them.

            @QasimRashid You ARE aware they were cooperating with ICE using the "pUbLiC sAfeTy" stuff? For a while now?

                      @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.

                                Wow. Not a single racial comparison.

                                Bravo. I'm boosting.

                                  Dystopia notwithstanding, Ring's commercial about using their surveillance to find lost pets makes no sense.

                                  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.

                                  I'm uninstalling my RING today.

                                  @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.

                                          @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?

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