How's it feel for you and your family to be fucked by
both your neighbor and govcorp including Amazon?
You're not doing anything about it, so you must enjoy it.

An investigation by Gizmodo has revealed that it's possible to obtain
the locations of Ring doorbell cameras from post on Amazon's Neighbors
app. Amazon has continuously deflected criticism and claimed it is
dedicated to user privacy. The company insisted Ring users have a
"choice in what information, if any, they share with law enforcement."
It turns not only can law enforcement access the exact location of
users, but anyone, anywhere can find out where users live. Gizmodo was
able to locate geographic coordinates for more than 20,000 camera.
Some of the coordinates placed you directly in front of the Ring
device, while other coordinates were a couple hundred feet yet
identifiers from posted videos made it easy to locate the user's home.
"People have been misled into buying these devices because Amazon
tells them it will keep their family safe. But it's a lie. Amazon's
surveillance network puts us all in danger," said Evan Greer, deputy
director of Fight for the Future. "Any bystander caught by a Ring
device could be located using the geographic coordinates found. People
can be tracked going into buildings, like clinics, for private
appointments. Children captured on video could be located by people
with malicious intentions. The possibilities are endless. Amazon has
failed to put any protections in place. Now, we're all vulnerable to
the consequences of their dragnet. We need Congress to investigate,
and hold Amazon accountable for these dangers."
