David ChartierOccasional reminder that Google and Amazon allow police to access your home cameras and doorbells without a warrant: https://www.theverge.com/2022/7/26/23279562/arlo-apple-wyze-eufy-google-ring-security-camera-foortage-warrant

@ErickaSimone Amazon and Google also store everything you and anyone else says before and after requests to their personal assistants, do their best to identify each person, and hang onto it indefinitely.
Admittedly, I have seen one instance where these recordings were used to convict a husband of domestic abuse. So... maybe there's a discussion to be had around that.
But I personally won't have those products in my house.

There is an opt-out option for Amazon, but it is opt-out.
Reminder: Check your Amazon app (e.g. Ring) now.

Glad my PC doesn't have a camera and I have no doorbell.
Fuck Google. Fuck Amazon.
Julian Lawson@chartier thanks for making me feel smug about spending no more than 67 hours getting a #raspberrypi #motioneye #homeassistant doorcam working ;)

@chartier Sometime in the nineties it really dawned on me how foolish it is to expect your "private" info to be respected as such once it passes through your current access point or cell tower. When you see the Internet, its legions of constantly changing, anonymous watchers see you. Actual "privacy" is more a matter of not being noteworthy than being protected. Far more, I fear.
