You may be tempted to roll your eyes and say that this was obvious, but there is a substantive difference between pointing out there is a slippery slope and having solid evidence that Ring's CEO is planning to expand Search Party beyond lost pets.

Leaked Email Suggests Ring Plans to Expand ‘Search Party’ Surveillance Beyond Dogs
Ring's CEO told staff the feature is “first for finding dogs,” indicating a plan to expand.

@evacide Absolutely. The 404 folks get a lot of "duh" or "slippery slope" type comments in feedback. I recall those specifically when Pokemon Go/Niantic was sold. But this stuff needs spelling out, and 404 do such meticulous reporting when they do so.
Our local anti-Flock organizers use reporting from 404 all the time.

@evacide And there is a host of Ring apologists on here.
We can't stress the traitorous nature of that crap enough.

I think they had a lot of balls to throw this out there regardless of invasion of privacy issues.
No one can walk down the street anymore without being examined 5 ways to Friday with various tech as it is. -

ANY product networked back to some corporate mothership should be a no-go for anyone (big brother lovers obviously excused--and pitied.).
As for this ring thang? I mean hello? Amazon? Alexia? Spying on their users since November 2017 when it was proved amazon was recording everything their alexa devices could hear. (see amazon alexa wiki entry for deets)
People. Pay attention! MegaDigiCorps _always_ lie about privacy. And they don't stop when they are caught either.

@evacide feels a lot like how they tried to sell us on "Stop and Frisk." Or the "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about" b.s. line they fed us.

This summarized it for me:"automated surveillance system" "uses AI" "on-by-default"

@evacide It's basically the ones they have in shopping centres since early to mid last year, maybe earlier, but now on the streets. I don't even think they've been effective, other then being a privacy issue for many, including myself. I cover my bank card with my entire hand, so the AI can't steal my numbers. It's sad I'm not allowed to wear a balaclava while shopping.
