Amazon is not doing enough to ensure that its products and practices do not run afoul of our civil liberties. Markey also released correspondence between his office and Amazon's vice president of public policy, Brian Huseman, who wrote that while Ring does not currently offer facial recognition technology as part of its services, also said that the company does"frequently innovate based on customer demand, and facial recognition features are increasingly common in consumer security cameras today," and listed other cameras on the market that offer the technology.
On its website, Ring emphasizes that the user is in control of their privacy, and states that"we do not sell your video recordings."
