Amazon's Evil Ring Cameras: Flock, Ring, & Building a Surveillance State

SUPPORT US: MICROSLOP T-SHIRT - https://store.gamersnexus.net/product... OR our new Wireframe V2 Mouse Mat! https://store.gamersnexus.net/product... Ring Cameras are evil. Ring, which is owned by Amazon, has had various partnerships with law enforcement agencies, governments, and Flock at points over the last few years, and its new AI-powered features raise concern of creating a police state or a surveillance state. We dig into Ring's connections, the shady surveillance dealings of government agencies, companies like Palantir and people like Peter Thiel and Jensen Huang, and Amazon's part in Ring. We also talk about evidentiary laundering via parallel construction, which cloud-connected home surveillance systems enable. There are ways to still have security cameras without hooking into these systems, though: Going for self-hosting and helping friends disconnect from cloud services to DIY install their own doorbell cameras would help slowly chip away at the data center-enabled surveillance state that we think Ring is building.
