I would like to ask all the civil liberties crowd if my Ring camera is a big threat to freedom and definitely a “surveillance nightmare” why do my packages keep getting stolen?

@mzagaja Because they don't care about your packages being stolen?

But if you or your neighbors decide you don't like what the government is doing, they do care about having yet another tool to track all movement in your neighborhood?

And even if you remove it now, they already have years of movement data you gave them?

@deafferret a lot of things must be true for that concern to be an actual threat vector:
- They could not previously track my movements with existing tools
- Me protesting is interesting enough to warrant scrutiny
- My protest involves movement and not tooting on Mastodon or putting a sign behind the camera on my front door
- They have the competency to review large amounts of video data
- The cameras are angled such that I am sufficiently visible/identifiable
