@havvyhh2 Understand the that driving force is government control over mobility. In a world of robocars, the government not only tracks all movement, but can prevent you from going where they don't want you to go, and take you where you don't want to go. That's really what's driving this. No pun intended. Law enforcement is drooling over this tech. Pure fascism, courtesy of the Big Tech Billionaire CEOs.
@lauren @havvyhh2 that is so different from #Uber, because there is a low wage worker in the car who will definitely drive you where you want to go without any violation of your privacy, right? No way the #lyft app would refuse a request to ride to a protest, or sell their records to #Palantir? The guardians of democracy, the public transport fast pass because, no data. Right?
We do need to do something about the #Ring and #Flock and #location protections. Laws. We need laws!

The Legal Case Against Ring’s #FaceRecognition Feature | @eff
#Amazon Ring’s upcoming face recognition tool has the potential to violate the privacy rights of millions of people and could result in Amazon breaking state #biometric #privacy laws.
#Ring plans to introduce a feature to its home #surveillance cameras called “Familiar Faces,” to identify specific people who come into view of the #camera.

Die #Ring-deurbellen krijgen nu ook #gezichtsherkenning. Ring-deurbellen zijn van #Amazon. Wanneer gaat de @nctvnl alle Nederlanders een boekje sturen om ze hiervoor te waarschuwen en maatregelen te nemen?
Ik ben voorbereid.

"Please turn off your #Ring cameras so that kids/families just trying to participate in #Halloween don't get caught up by ICE. Ring has partnered with them, so we know how this is going to turn out.
Also, please consider removing Ring entirely or AT LEAST turn on e2e encryption.
RING=ICE"

If you're not careful, the Secret Service will soon be on your porch. "On the same day that #Ring announced this partnership, 404 Media reported that ICE, the Secret Service, and the Navy had access to Flock’s network of cameras. By partnering with Ring, #Flock could potentially access footage from millions more cameras." https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/16/amazons-ring-to-partner-with-flock-a-network-of-ai-cameras-used-by-ice-feds-and-police/
Ring reintroduces video sharing with police
‚Ring has once again started letting police request footage from users. Axon, a law enforcement technology company and maker of Taser, announced in April that it’s partnering with Ring to allow customers to share “relevant video with law enforcement to help solve crimes faster and safeguard neighborhoods,” as spotted earlier by Business Insider….‘
