I inherited a Ring camera with my house and added more, I'm now in the process of de-Ringifying everything.
Well this is extremely unnerving and expected. I mean jesus shit.
Edit: I met a Russian expat in SE Asia, I don't know how correct what he says is, but he's in IT like me and runs his own org, and he says that Russia is ridiculously surveilled with cameras with advanced facial recognition that will easily identify you in spite of disguises like masks or sunglasses or basically anything you try, he says they have absolute control over who and where people are at any given time, and that's where the US is heading full speed.
