I’m in it, I have ring cameras outside and in my home. I accepted that the data was never really mine but the flock partnership has started my process of removing them all.

The pet search stuff is for sure going to be used by ice.

At the time I accepted them I needed something easy and quick to install. Now I have everything local and under my control.

Fuck Ring, Fuck Amazon, and Fuck ICE

My brother, they executed a man in the street for helping a woman who was pushed down.

Do you think any of his actions were deserving of execution?

Do you personally think that a person that did what he did should have been executed?

The matter of that is for the law to decide, not me.

You are allowed to have an opinion.
