    It’s been real for a long time now, this is how ring works. You have to manually turn this stuff off and no one does.

    There are some informative videos on this spy network.

      my newest neighbors are having ring cameras installed in my apartment building and that combined with the knowledge that ring shares this data to the highest bidder (which is often the gov’t), i feel like my civil rights are being violated every time i have to walk past the ring cameras every time i walk out my front door. lol

        I don’t know if you live in a state where you just get shot for nocking but calling the bell and explaining your concerns to them usually works at least for me.

          it’s more peculiar than that: the ring cameras were installed over a month ago, but neither tenants have moved in yet and they both clearly have money since they’ve both had their apartment renovated by professionals instead of the landlord’s maintenance guys.

          i’m guessing that these apartments are just their “city home” and i doubt that they will take kindly to a poor telling them how to live.
