@dangillmor who would have see that coming with all this convenient tools and technologies from all this "don't be evil" rougecapitalist companies.

aimee@mastodon.nz

@dangillmor it was my IMMEDIATE thought, especially recently, much as the doggo thing is cute (and very clever cutewashing).

@dangillmor thanks for sharing! I thought I was the only one who was scared about this ad. Combined with Tesla camera surveillance this is a wonderful toolset for any authoritarian government.

shredd_tone@equestria.social

@dangillmor Dammit! Why does society choose to walk into these things all the time?

We could've easily avoided all of this if we choose to just reject this, but that's only possible if we choose to.

shredd_tone@equestria.social

@PamelaBarroway @dangillmor Smart move! In fact, we need to go back to the days where everything was stored locally as oppose to depending on companies to collect, store our data for exploitation.

Just keep things safe and simple. That and it will also cut down on all the electricity that gets wasted too.

florafunghi@mastodon.social

@dangillmor I wonder if we have to worry about other ring type cameras too or just Ring camera... a member of my household just bought an offbrand one...

faithinbones@mastodon.social

@dangillmor that's why I don't own one.

@dangillmor here in Germany it’s illegal to have video surveillance that films more than your own property. You can’t surveil a street or sidewalk.

Legislation the US could have, even under , because it could be local/state.

disisdeguey@expressional.social

@dangillmor Yeah right, but if you don't have this camera, what are people gonna post in Instagram???? Look I'm sharing my house, my address, my dog, my child, my 100% location...but hey, how funny Is this video of me scaring an Amazon delivery guy.

htpcnz@mastodon.social

@dangillmor unfortunately when stupid neighbours install multiple of these crap... So sick of hearing "You are currently being recorded" loudly day & night. Only hope is Jeff gets more greedy and make them obsolete or make the subscription costs go through the roof.

parkersavage@mastodon.social

@dangillmor someone needs to figure out how to jailbreak ring doorbells

dcgirl@boop.city

@dangillmor if ICE isn’t using this yet they will.
Police use it, just listen to the scanners.

fokeu@mastodon.social

@Shredd_Tone @PamelaBarroway @dangillmor you are right. It seems like people forgot that cloud is just a fancy name for storing data on someone's computer

cadellin@mastodon.gamedev.place

@dangillmor this is why we have security cameras running Thingino, which is open source and not beholden to corporate interests or misuse.

bouriquet@mastodon.social

@dangillmor If it’s on WiFi, the data passes through a number of servers and is “stored” somewhere, even if “temporarily”.
And that’s probably obscured in the long fine-print agreement you acknowledged before activating the camera.

the_turtle@mastodon.sdf.org

@dangillmor just call them what they are:

IF YOU HAVE A RING DOORBELL YOU'RE A TIMID, PARANOID TOOL.

black_flag@beige.party

@dangillmor In many of their cases yes it is
