2 days agoI have the same feelings. I’m leaning towards preferring no cameras though. Data is cheap to store and never* gets deleted. Bad actors can comb through that information after the fact and use it for whatever purposes they want, even if it was initially taken/given with good intentions. Walking by a Ring camera now gets a mandatory consent-free facial scanning attempt. These cameras were not initially sold with this being a feature set. Who knows what bullshit they will be used for down the line
Nobody is willing to take on the risk to help their neighbors 🤷🏻♀️
If I had an empty home that I was paying a mortgage on, I’m not sure the bank or insurance company would be too happy with that either, which doesn’t help.
Some systemic change would be required
