Ring is a wildly dangerous company. Always has been. But it has sort of flown under the radar the last couple years as it tried to soften its image. Make no mistake that this is an extremely dangerous surveillance dragnet:

NEW: Police officers are being told to “be as vague as permissible” about why they are using the Flock surveillance system in order to not leak sensitive information via public records requests, according to records obtained using a public records request.
Police Told to Be ‘as Vague as Permissible’ About Why They Use Flock

Fun fact! We could be using the $75 billion allocated for ICE on literally anything else! Like essential services that help people exist! It’s almost as if these issues + our priorities have a lot of overlap!
Also people definitely can’t afford things if they get shot in the face!

If the general public hated all new disruptive tech, people wouldn’t have lined up for the first iPhone. Show people something useful for them and they’ll want to adopt it.
If it’s a solution in search of a problem and people are being forced to use it? Maybe not so much

The “you have to be on X to fight the Nazis” is an argument that comes from people whose brains have been broken by being on social media. The way you defeat the Nazis is with IRL organizing, good reporting, calling elected officials, and other tangible actions. Posting ain’t it.
