Relevant video I saw posted elsewhere on Lemmy today.
Tl;dw: Flock cameras are alarmingly easily hackable and many of their security and efficacy claims on their website are outright false.

Ease of hacking isn’t even something I considered. I just don’t want my face anywhere on whatever server because a flock camera saw me

I used to get this real bad. Couldn’t leave the flat most days. I’d have my coat and shoes on, and would keep approaching the door and just couldnt leave. Sometimes I’d think I could hear footsteps in the hallway, and would have to wait by the peephole for a couple of minutes, then lose my nerve and go back to work up the courage to approach the door again. Just unable to open the door and break the seal between safety and exposure.
Seek help if you have the option. It doesnt get better on its own.

And because of all my neighbors with their ring cameras and Alexa microphones. It’s ridiculous.

As another dude with a family that loves storing their naked baby pictures on google’s servers… I feel you…

Its less about naked baby pictures and more about a network of internet connected cameras, which we know that government agencies access, being absolutely everywhere.

You mean because of people watching? I get this so much worse in the village than in the city, because village folks will remember and talk about your patterns, while city folks won’t.

You are afraid of someone watching you.
I’m afraid of armed masked men grabbing me and throwing me in a van.
We are not the same.
