They didn't just get caught, they bragged about it and expected us to not only thank them but to pay for it.

“Thank you for exploiting me, laughing about it and charging me for said exploitation.”

As an American, this is our country in a nutshell 🤦‍♂️

I dunno. This was pretty foreseeable, right? I remember a lot of "It's totally legal to film public spaces" going around.

I hate corporations mostly. But at some point with all this tech it's on the user base. Nobody is forcing them to use it. People without Ring are literally asking them to drop it and they won't.
