Comment on Big Brother just got an upgrade. Starting December, Amazon’s Ring cameras will scan and recognize faces. Don’t want to be in their database? Too bad — walk past a Ring and your face can be stored...

  Same here. All private cameras that record or process data need to be announced on entrance of a property. Though now that i think about it, idk how ring got passed that law to begin with

    idk how ring got passed that law to begin with in 99% of its use cases

    It doesn’t comply… but the responsibility falls on the person who mounts/uses the hardware, so Amazon does whatever they want.

  I was gonna say, I’m not sure this would hold up to legal scrutiny, not that that makes it ok in the first place.
