Big Brother just got an upgrade.

Starting December, Amazon’s Ring cameras will scan and recognize faces. Don’t want to be in their database? Too bad — walk past a Ring and your face can be stored, tagged, & analyzed without consent.

One step closer to total surveillance.

I’ve had uber drivers cancel on me because they don’t want to enter a gate code. Because it’s inconvenient, could be error prone, and slows them down (I would assume.) So it might not always be privacy concerns but also inconvenience.
