Amazon doesnt just own the footage they own the incentives to monetize it turning passive homeowners into unwitting data brokers for cops and advertisers. Add Flocks AI license plate trackers and youve got a feedback loop where your driveway cam feeds traffic cams which circle back to profile you. The FTC fine was a slap on the wrist 5.8 million is chump change against billions in Ring revenue. Solution for the paranoid opt out early or build your own mesh network of open source cams that keep data local. Privacy isnt dead its just subscription based now.
