Porch Pirate Ring Camera Privacy Concerns
Neighborhood Watch – How to Protect Your Packages And Your Ethics

“We investigated Ring (Amazon Camera) for months. Here are the best privacy options for prospective and existing customers. As doorbell cameras have become prominent in many parts of the country, so have the moral conundrums around whether people should be using them. At a time when police officers may receive email notifications about camera footage uploaded to the social media app Neighbors, The Markup put together this guide focused on data privacy to help people who want more control over their data and personal information, while also helping them protect their porch.
Wait, What Are the Moral Conundrums?
While every camera system has had its fair share of scandals, from hackers taking over users’ cameras to police potentially getting access to footage without consent, Ring’s aggressive marketing to enlist law enforcement agencies to the Neighbors social platform has triggered enough ethical questions for some publications to stop recommending the popular doorbell camera brand.”
