    Didn’t ring already prove they were permanently recording and storing the data from every ring camera even if the person that bought it doesn’t pay for a subscription?

    The conspiracy theorists joking/lamenting about how seemingly everyone decided that buying a listening device to put in every room was fine because it had a name, and not long after, the same company known for exploiting its warehouse workers, union busting and general privacy violations brought out the ‘build your own panopticon’ kit.

      They may have done, but if you’re referring to the kidnapped woman who’s footage was pulled from the backend after they said she didn’t have a subscription, she had a Google Nest Camera.

      I wouldn’t doubt that Amazon does this too but Google is just as bad if not worse.

      That was Google Nest. Though those cameras always gave you 3 hours to watch back footage, even without a subscription.
