”Shut Down” Amazing Ring Immediately Software Engineer Says
Amazon Ring software engineer says that “the privacy issues are not fixable with regulation and there is no balance that can be struck. Ring should be shut down immediately and not brought back.”
Amazon and Ring have not responded to requests for comment. Ring’s employees have also blown the whistle as well as abused access to customer’s feeds.
Recently, an Amazon employee was able to gain access to a home to drop off an Amazon package. The employee stole the homeowners dog. Upon public pressure the employee returned the dog back to its’ owner.
Amazon’s Ring sharing information with Facebook and Google
A study by Electronic Frontier Foundation found that the Android Ring app is full of third-party tracking code that gathers personal information that includes IP address, network and GPS tracking that is then shared with third party vendors such as Facebook and Google.
Facebook has been caught using Ring app users time zone, device make and model, screen resolution and tracks the user via a unique ID code. The Ring app gives facebook data on each user whether the user has a facebook account or not.
The EFF said “Ring claims to prioritize the security and privacy of its customers, yet time and again we’ve seen these claims not only fall short, but harm the customers and community members who engage with Ring’s suveillance system.”
