New from 404 Media: a leaked email suggests Ring's 'Search Party' feature, which it advertised at the Super Bowl, won't be limited to just turning on neighborhoods' cameras to search for dogs. CEO Jamie Siminoff said the feature is “first for finding dogs.” https://www.404media.co/leaked-email-suggests-ring-plans-to-expand-search-party-surveillance-beyond-dogs/

@abucci @josephcox I don't find it complicated. Putting your face online does not give everyone on Earth consent to use that image for any purpose whatsoever. In the real world, there are legal limits to what you can do with a photograph you take of another person. It's recognized that such laws facilitate such freedoms as free association. Why does anyone think the calculation changes when we're talking about associating online?I love this. Thank you for making it that simple.

The Tumbler Ridge shooter created a mall shooting simulator in Roblox. “We have removed the user account connected to this horrifying incident as well as any content associated with the suspect,” Roblox told 404 Media https://www.404media.co/tumbler-ridge-shooter-created-mall-shooting-simulator-in-roblox/

@josephcox thats so lame. The Japanese have been doing it automatically for at least 20 years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGNFjuYM1Bc(Judging by the taxi styling, maybe 40!)

@josephcox @notyourfanboy some witty insightful genius. my biggest concern about them is that they're over on BlueSky also I probably would not let them cook for me tho

With Ring, American consumers built the surveillance dragnet. Ring's Super Bowl ad, which highlighted a feature to find lost dogs, showed Ring is still, again, and always will be in the business of leveraging its network of luxury surveillance consumers https://www.404media.co/with-ring-american-consumers-built-a-surveillance-dragnet/
