England judge Amazon Ring

dimanche 17 octobre 2021 à 02:00

A judge in England ruled that using an Amazon Ring snooping device that watched and listened to a neighbor's property violated her privacy, so he awarded her substantial damages.

(She had actually moved to another home to avoid the surveillance.) As I see it, what makes these "security" cameras in fact surveillance cameras is that they can transmit the video and audio over the network. That capability makes them _surveillance_ cameras rather than _security_ cameras.
