Opinion | Evan Greer: Reject the corporate surveillance behind Amazon Ring and Google Nest - NBCNewsTHINK

The companywith more than 600 police departments across the country to tap into the surveillance network its customers are creating for them, developing a seamless process for government agents to request footage from tens of thousands of Ring cameras without warrants or any judicial oversight.
And many Ring cameras are placed on people’s front doors, capturing endless hours of video footage of innocent passersby, including children — most of whom are unaware that they are being surveilled and have not consented to being recorded. Amazon has openly that there are no safeguards in place to prevent abuse once footage is shared with law enforcement, and that the government can store that footage indefinitely or share it with federal agencies, like Immigration and Customs Enforcement, at will.
