The Federal Trade Commission is sending refunds totaling more than $5.6 million to consumers as the result of a settlement with Ring over charges the company allowed employees and contractors to ac
It pisses me off that so many people put cameras on there door bells
It kind of makes me want to go bonkers and have 12-14 visible CTV cameras pointing at the person to dares to come to my door (joking)
You're not alone. This isn't normal and you're not crazy for not wanting to be spied on just for making the mistake of going outside and walking past someone's house.
Oh man. You're worried about your neighbors cameras? Wait until you learn about all the stuff they put on traffic lights these days. If you're on just about any public road, or adjacent properties/sidewalks, you're ALREADY being recorded by the government. I wouldn't worry all that much about a random doorbell camera. That's just one data point. The traffic stuff can track you for miles. Hell... have an accident, your lawyer to subpoena the state for their footage. https://zaneslaw.com/blog/how-to-access-traffic-camera-footage-phoenix/

Businesses have cameras...
You don't have privacy out in public. It doesn't exist. What you're all advocating for is that property owners don't have a right to install security systems on their own property. Or to record events on their property/in public. That's just plain incorrect.

Reason: trolling. they keep replying to every comment saying the first ammendment or some other US thing is more important than privacy lolImagine reporting someone for actually contributing to the conversation. Imaging thinking that other countries don't already have similar laws in place. Don't you wonder how security cameras are a thing for businesses across literally the entire world?

Just because I outline what specific laws the US follow to allow it doesn't mean other countries don't allow it either. This is not a US centric problem. I would challenge you to find a country that DOESN'T Allow you to record your own property. Or I suppose you can just cry to more mod-mail.
I mean, do it? No reason to announce it here, and no one will care about your plethora of cameras. Why would what someone chooses to add to their property be something that "pisses you off" so much?

Does it piss you off when they have sex out of wedlock in their house too? How dare they have a shed in their backyard that doesn't match the HOA approved colors!

It's your property... do whatever you want. Hell adding all those cameras like that with no purpose will alert your neighbors to what you are... clearly looney tunes levels of crazy.
Remember the NSA director back when all the Snowden stuff happened? Keith Alexander? He joined Amazon's board of directors in 2020. Not to mention Bezos is a particular fan of the DoD and was on the Pentagon's advisory board.
Why anyone would trust Amazon is beyond me. And I don't like feeling so damn watched just for walking down a street with a bunch of Ring cameras. I can't believe it's so normalized to constantly watch your neighbors with a corps eyeballs.
