Dystopia notwithstanding, Ring's commercial about using their surveillance to find lost pets makes no sense.
They say 10M pets are lost per year & their service finds "more than 1 dog per day." So let's even say generously 500 dogs per year.
Out of 10M lost pets, they want Americans to commit privacy suicide for a .005% success rate???
"We fail 99.995% of the time! Let us violate your privacy!" is a helluva way to burn $10M in ads and destroy your brand.
I'm uninstalling my RING today.
Interesting take.... Today it could be used with facial recognition to look for illegal immigrants.
Tomorrow is could be used to hunt for those that refuse to take the mark of the beast. (So they are also illegal.)
If they had rolled out this technology a few years earlier, they could have used it to hunt for those who still had not taken their clot-shot. But they will get another chance for that with the next virus they release.
I said that in jest. But in every joke is some element of truth.
"Do not attribute to malice what can be attributed to ignorance."
But maybe also don't attribute to ignorance what can be attributed to greed.
I'm not in to conspiracy theories. So I'm not going to bite easily when I hear there is an unnamed "they" that's doing malicious virus releases.
I'll stick to blaming ignorance first... then greed...
This looks like greed. The data is very valuable... then abuse.
