Good God. That #AmazonRing commercial was terrifying.

Upload a picture of your lost pet and every #Ring doorbell starts looking for a match.

If that's what we have access to just imagine what the authorities have access to, especially with the #Flock integration.

The dystopian surveillance state is here.

Amazon Ring: la nuova frontiera della sorveglianza di massa e il ritorno al techno-autoritarismo.
Recentemente, l’azienda ha preso una direzione preoccupante: sta cancellando molte delle riforme implementate in passato per tutelare la privacy degli utenti, tornando a favorire l’accesso diretto delle forze dell’ordine ai dati video, con potenziali rischi gravissimi per le libertà civili.

@drahardja yet another reason + 123 to avoid #Amazon, #AmazonRing and all #proprietarysoftware based #spyware

How does #AmazonRing deal with people installing it on their homes for "security", but what they're actually doing is tracking the in and outs of other members in the household. How they lose their privacy of leaving the house without others observing. https://jj.isgeek.net/2024/10/21-174546/

> Humanity... We need to reject false promises of security and convenience in exchange for a loss of privacy. Something as simple as investing in more streetlights can reduce so-called quality-of-life crimes like package theft and car break-ins without aggravating racial profiling or supercharging oppressive surveillance. Real community safety comes from helping one another, not spying on one another.

But in more hopeful news...

"That brings us to the biggest change in the Atlas since our launch in 2018. This week, we removed 2,530 data points: an entire category of surveillance. With the announcement from Amazon that its home surveillance company Ring will no longer facilitate warrantless requests for consumer video footage, we've decided to sunset that particular dataset."

Fascinating article on a collaboration between #AmazonRing cameras and police and fire departments across the U.S. This is a grant-funded collaborative research piece between #TheMarkup, #AfroLA, and #LATimes.

https://themarkup.org/neighborhood-watch/2023/10/11/accidental-spies-amazon-ring-owners-may-be-unknowingly-emailing-police

My personal takeaway is it really highlights the complexity of digital #privacy, #security, and #infosec. As an amateur #infosec hobbiest the negative impacts from Ring to communities and society are glaringly obvious: such as growing the divide between more privileged and less privileged classes in local communities, promoting fear, further skewing the role of police as only protecting privileged classes. This is also very intertwined with #cambridgeanalytica and related current scandals, the roll of #bigdata in #uspol, and so much more. Plus throw in all the challenges with #AI.

We can't bury our heads in the sand on this, but its such a complicated, insidious, and nefarious topic ... its really hard to communicate this to people. Just like climate change.

I don't own an #AmazonRing device or another video camera connected to a commercial service in "the Cloud". Still, the following article on neglect of the most basic rules of data protection leading to harm by the market-leading brand gave me pause.

Ein Mann aus dem US-Bundeststaat Ohio sollte der Polizei Aufnahmen aus seinem Wohnzimmer vorlegen, obwohl nur gegen seinen Nachbarn ermittelt wurde. Als er sich weigerte, legte die Behörde einen richterlichen Beschluss bei #AmazonRing vor.

Reason #3242345243582 why you not buy or use a Ring camera -

"Larkin received a notice from Ring itself: The company had received a warrant, signed by a local judge. The notice informed him it was obligated to send footage from more than 20 cameras — whether or not Larkin was willing to share it himself."

Open letter to EFF,

Hi @eff,

We are concerned that #AmazonSidewalk might be designed to create a #closedCorporateInternet.

If we are going to go down the route of a #meshNet then the #technology must be open. This means #openHardware (in so far as #circuitry that is #printable).

What #Amazon is creating is a disgrace to an open and supposedly free society.

We are considering whether a recall of their #AmazonRing, #EchoSpeakers and other products should be enacted.

Thanks for reading.

@spacekookie
Its about #takingTheWorldPrivate, neofeudalism will come from economic rents. We'll never see the owners but they are already watching people who use proprietary garbage like #AmazonRing, #GoogleHangout, #Zoom, etc.

But wait for the #autonomousDrones they're testing them out on hunting #feralCats here in #Australia. A quick dataset swap and they'll deal with us on the mainland soon enough.

Petition to #USCongress:

"Local municipalities are subsidizing #AmazonRing’s dangerous, flawed, and racially biased private #surveillance system. We demand you take action immediately and ban public subsidies for private surveillance."
