One Ring to Rule Them All

 The video doorbell company Ring is taking some heat after it revealed that authorities can keep homeowners’ videos forever and share them with any party they choose. [More]

Is that what the economic fascists like to call a "public/private partnership"?

I'm disappointed at DC Clothesline for regurgitating (practically verbatim) a November article run by other outlets and presenting it as news.

As was well discussed then, Ring owners have to volunteer to let the police see their videos. If stupid people don't care about their own privacy, too bad.
