I'm surprised they weren't already, if one discards the ethical and moral issues (like one would expect from an Amazon product), they do have a lot of opportunities for working with each others data.

Big tech is nothing different from the German industrialists one hundred years ago

If history has thought us anything, it has to be that capitalists have absolutely no spine and only think about profits, no matter what.

Big tech have always been dogs willing to play fetch for any master. The free market didn't offer big tech these quantity of rewards for brutalizing people 'guilty' of administrative infractions, our 'democratically' elected government did.

To all the people talking about government surveillance do you not realize the government already can track you by your cell phone?

Might be a good time to enable E2EE on your Ring cams if you haven’t already:

I have deniability with the phone. I can also just leave it at home if I want or turn it off entirely. That access should also be illegal without a warrant; however, this is far worse than cellular "metadata" tracking.

If you follow the money, it might even be less different.
