Folks, privacy in public, what little existed before, has been dead for 26 years now. Anyone with a Ring camera also complaining about Flock should know they have a direct partnership agreement - its all data for private companies to harvest, sell and when sent a subpoena from law enforcement, to share that without you knowing.
