ICE, Secret Service, Navy All Had Access to Flock's Nationwide Network of Cameras
Flock has built a nationwide surveillance network of AI-powered cameras and given many more federal agencies access. Senator Ron Wyden told Flock “abuses of your product are not only likely but inevitable” and Flock “is unable and uninterested in preventing them.”

I don't have a security system, but I have a friend who uses Axis brand cameras along with Blue Iris software, as they aren't controlled by a mega-corp nor by China.
If you can run your own local instance on an old desktop or something it's probably the best way to avoid getting creeped on by governments and corporations.

@JulianOliver I'd be tempted to just block its view with a sign, something along the lines of "Fuck ICE and fuck the surveillance state."

@solitha Good idea. Depending on how you can fix it, could use a technique like this, but opaque. https://julianoliver.com/projects/public-patch/

@JulianOliver Who would have thought a webcam connected to Amazon 24/7 would be unsecure? Y'all had to have known this would happen sooner or later right? REICH?

@JulianOliver Uhm... does this only count for ring cameras in the US, or are e.g. european rings ... "affected" as well (and taken into hugr databases)?
Oh, I feel I know the answer, but perhaps there is hope anyways............
Can the GDPR make these things illegal in Europe?

In the leadup to & throughout WW2, US tech giant IBM chose to be the "information muscle" of the Nazi Party, running census & kill accounting for Hitler's Final Solution.
As this shitty loop comes round at scale, tech giants once again center themselves within the white supremacy project. Rather than combine their power to fight back, the CEOs & investors of these corps *choose* to side with the hateful & increasingly lethal regime.
Helping friends & fam off #bigtech is a moral imperative.
