Big Brother just got an upgrade.
Starting December, Amazon’s Ring cameras will scan and recognize faces. Don’t want to be in their database? Too bad — walk past a Ring and your face can be stored, tagged, & analyzed without consent.
One step closer to total surveillance.

Did that sound clever in your head before you wrote it?
Everything I have to say is clever in comparison to your bottom of the barrel idiocy.
All this ad hominem over your lack of understanding of the First Amendment.
I hope you get over yourself one day.
That’s not what ad hominem means. And as I said, I don’t think this is protected by the first amendment. You’re the one who got rude first.
You’re way too sensitive if you think I was rude first.
Look it up and feel embarrassed for being an asshole. Or don’t and remain ignorant. Either way, shut up so I don’t have to block you. People who drown in their own ignorance in the information age with web search a click away are so pathetic.
Jesus Christ, you are a bottom of the barrel intellect. Fuck off, Republican brain.
Lmfao you think I’m Republican because I happen to know the First Amendment applies to photos of people in public?
Touch grass and enjoy your block.
Your moral and intellectual superior never said that this was just about “photos of people in public”. We are talking about a specific way of manipulating that data in a database and its specific application and use.
Furthermore, there are plenty of laws in different states about taking pictures of people in public. At the moment, public photography is acceptable as long as it’s general, but you cannot record individuals specifically. This is quite common. But since there is no federal legislation about this, it can very simply be regulated.
