They showed us cute missing dogs & we consented to opt into a mass human tracking system. I think Ring's wants to be Flock. On steroids. Because instead of just sketchy cameras in parking lots, Search Party will cover your own backyards & homes. And if you & your neighbors want to challenge the loss of privacy? Well, how exactly would you do that effectively? Because, instead of going to the city council, looking at the contracts, and calling out your mayor for speeding your city to dystopia, it's massive and distributed. Will you even know which of your neighbors is now helping to feed the system? If we had half competent privacy regulators & laws in the US this kind of thing would be a big, hard fight for Ring. Instead? It's a Super Bowl commercial. Oh, and yeah Ring has already partnered with Flock Safety to incorporate tools letting the government directly request footage

It's so gross. This was my immediate thought when the commercial came on too.

I never liked even the earlier version of Ring - or Siri or Alexa, and to hell with flock.

If you're willing to mount one of those cameras on your door, then you should be willing to put up with surveillance like this. Don't use this crap. Ring and flock are surveillance arms of the state.

This commercial was the most concerning of all the Super Bowl ones.

A friend of mine was the director of AppSec at Ring before they were bought by amazon. He said once he saw them heading in this direction, he knew he had to leave. Some crazy stories in the midst of all that too.

Next everyone will be required to get a Ring implant to get a domestic airline ticket. Given how many took the knee for Real ID requirement, they'll do the same for the implant. You won't be seeing me on any commercial flights.

Easiest way to end this is hack the outdoor cameras so that the doorbell rings every time a cat or dog goes past
