I just find it bizarre that it's people's doorbells that somehow seems to have been the triggering point, and not the billion or so closed-circuit surveillance cameras already deployed. Of all the cameras to complain about, seeing who is at your front door is, IMO, the least possibly offensive.
Yeah, I guess that's my point. I can understand if the conversation was more centered around the security cameras people are putting up, especially within their own homes. And we already get tracked nearly 24/7 both geographically via our smartphones, as well as online. The possible scenarios where footage from a doorbell cam gets misused seems pretty limited and innocuous. And yet I've seen article after article in recent months about how Ring doorbells are what leads us to 1984.
