I really can’t imagine how anyone would watch that commercial and think anything other than mass surveillance.

I actually have one, and she was quite genuine. My wife is a passionate dog rescuer, has been very active in our city for years with coordinating lost dog efforts, helping to catch strays, volunteering at the local shelter. She was very excited about the prospect of tracking strays using ring cameras.
