Comment on Why are people disconnecting or destroying their Ring cameras?
partial_accumen@lemmy.world 5 hours agoAnd the NEST camera apparently has some sort of free tier that saves a short amount (the last few hours) of video by default, so NEST users shouldn’t be surprised at all that their video feed is sent to the cloud as its one of the features of the subscription-less model.

The problem isn’t that it’s being sent to the cloud, the problem is that it’s not being encrypted and Amazon is doing whatever they fuck they want with it, including giving it to law enforcement without a warrant.

encryption wouldn’t solve the problem, just raise more questions. how is it encrypted, with what algorithm? was the alg implemented securely? who has the decryption keys? how were the keys generated? were they generated from a good enough entropy source?
having encryption and “secure!” plastered all over the box and the phone app does not mean anything, especially when you need protection against the manufacturer.

When people in this community say “encryption” it should be obvious we’re referring to effective encryption.

yes, that would be ideal, but at any point in time we will have newcomers, for them it won’t be obvious
