Was shocked to hear the ceo at at my last job say he was expecting to be able to access ring camera feeds soon (2018, safety-related startup).
Why would anyone pay for these things to publish a feed from your front door to anyone Amazon wants to share it with?

- PragmaticPulp 5y agoRing cameras don’t arbitrarily share feeds. Police can request access but it’s opt-in: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/06/ring-changed-how-police-request-door-camera-footage-what-it-means-and-doesnt-mean https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/06/ring-changed-how-polic... If your CEO thought they could just access Ring camera feeds at random, they were misinformed.
