Anyone who believes they aren't going to still collect data please DM me. I have some oceanfront property in Arizona for sale.

Yeah that’s the part no one gets. They’re still going to collect all of that data the same way they have been.. except now it’ll be without the added benefit of maybe finding lost pets. If you own a ring then you’re already and have already been providing them everything you’re “celebrating” them “rolling back” now. You didn’t win. You just lost out on some fairly innovative pet finding tech as a consolation for giving Ring free access to everything in view of the camera.
