  1. And yet how many million folks had to rush out and buy the Ring doorbells to brag and be hip and cool, and be the sucker sheep, as was intended from the beginning. Outside of posting porch pirates on the NextDoor app, what do they all think it was for, personal entertainment? With the indoor apps like Alexa, etc, and phones, computers and smart TV’s, being concerned about privacy seems a bit naive.

    1. Wait until everyone learns about airports and flock cameras and cell phones….. They are going to freak out

  2. First of all. And most importantly, THERE IS NO EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY IF YOU PUT YOURSELF IN A PUBLIC PLACE. If my eyes can see you, my camera can film you. That has been the law forever! Thank you for your attention to this matter.
