Dropcam runs on AWS [1], "ingest[ing] more video per minute than YouTube" [2] into S3. Presumably the cost savings from switching to Google infrastructure will be compelling enough to change that. They'll probably torture the semantics and say "the data is there but Google can't access it".

- lotu 12y agoNaturally what what they mean is not, this data will never exist on a computer/network owned by Google. What they mean is we aren't going use video from your security camera for general Google projects, like street view, collecting large amounts of speech databases for voice recognition, figuring out what products you and enjoy using and tailoring advertising to fit that, or tracking epidemics in real time by monitoring how many people in your house are sick.

- pgeorgi 12y agoI guess it doesn't make much of a difference if Google or Amazon is doing it.
- gress 12y agoAmazon isn't in a position to build a law enforcement portal to this service. Google now is.
- hueving 12y agoWell of course they will do that. Any company in the US is compelled to follow the law and give up any information they can possibly access.
