"identify people who appear at one’s door... a “personal directory of 50 familiar faces” so they can be alerted..."

Amazon-owned Ring should pay Americans for scanning their faces, lawsuit says

Lawsuit: Ring cameras scan guests and passersby and use AI to identify faces.

Needless to say if you own an #Amazon #Ring camera you really should not.

Great episode on surveillance tech. Just ended, but worth hearing the archive.

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.
