Comment on Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance
RobertoOberto@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks agoIf you’re still talking about getting shit stolen off your porch, anyone within driving distance could be responsible for it.
Do you really think it’s possible to try to become friends with or “help out” every asshole within a 10 minute drive of where you live? Or even identify everyone in that range who might have sticky fingers?

Not concerned about porch pirates at all, people shouldnt order stuff like this.

Not everyone has been blessed with the same gift of blissful ignorance that you have.
I agree that people shouldn’t order Ring, it’s a shitty product for the reasons laid out in this thread and article. But “just be nicer to everyone around you” is not a viable alternative, and suggesting it is dismissive of the realities other people are living.

I dont order anything, so I dont worry about porch pirates, has nothing to do with “blessings” whatever that refers to.
I dont like walking down the sidewalk and realizing I’m being filmed from someone’s doorstep, its unnecessary and invasive. I dont want people around me to feel like that, and all I would get by having cameras is the opportunity to prosecute someone from my community for a petty crime. Not interested in any of that.
