"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.

@twrling Any recommendations from the Mastodon community for moving away from #Ring to a different smart doorbell product? Motion detection and ability to answer from anywhere are what we appreciate about Ring, but there must be a self hosted or privacy respecting 3rd party option somewhere?

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/

Agencies that use Flock can request that Ring doorbell users share footage to help with "evidence collection and investigative work."

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….‘
