“Following a comprehensive review, we determined the planned Flock Safety integration would require significantly more time and resources than anticipated,” Ring wrote in a blog post. “As a result, we have made the joint decision to cancel the planned integration.”
Absolutely not because of privacy concerns. But definitely not about a resources or time issue. This is them responding to the negative backlash without acknowledging their tone deaf Superbowl ad. If there was time or resource issue they wouldn’t have dropped tens of millions of dollars bragging about it.
They are all over the place with their communication. I checked specifically when they first announced this partnership. And it turned out that when you share your videos with public safety, it was also being shared to Flock. And only the specific videos you choose to share. So I thought it was a big nothing before all this — just don’t share videos with public safety. I never have and never will.
But to walk their cooperation back must mean they got significant complaints and need to do some PR. Or they tried some shit that wasn’t spelled out in their privacy statement.

They can’t say that out loud of course. They do the same thing.
But it’s obviously to mitigate the current shitstorm
