They showed us cute missing dogs & we consented to opt into a mass human tracking system.
I think Ring's wants to be Flock. On steroids.
Because instead of just sketchy cameras in parking lots, Search Party will cover your own backyards & homes.
And if you & your neighbors want to challenge the loss of privacy? Well, how exactly would you do that effectively?
Because, instead of going to the city council, looking at the contracts, and calling out your mayor for speeding your city to dystopia, it's massive and distributed.
Will you even know which of your neighbors is now helping to feed the system?
If we had half competent privacy regulators & laws in the US this kind of thing would be a big, hard fight for Ring.
Instead? It's a Super Bowl commercial.
Oh, and yeah Ring has already partnered with Flock Safety to incorporate tools letting the government directly request footage
