Big Brother just got an upgrade.
Starting December, Amazon’s Ring cameras will scan and recognize faces. Don’t want to be in their database? Too bad — walk past a Ring and your face can be stored, tagged, & analyzed without consent.
One step closer to total surveillance.

Pretty sure this will be illegal in Illinois too
2 years later: “Amazon settles lawsuit with state of Illinois for 3 toothpicks and a stick of gum after profiting eleventy trillion dollars from breaking the law. Amazon admits no fault in the settlement.”
I wonder if the owner will be responsible. Go around to every house you can find and then sue each owner.
