Amazon.com's Ring will pay $5.8 million after employees spied on customer videos

Amazon.com’s doorbell camera unit Ring has reached a settlement with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission regarding privacy, according to a filing Wednesday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
As part of the agreement, Ring is to pay $5.8 million, according to a filing.
Amazon.com did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The FTC said Ring gave employees unrestricted access to customers’ sensitive video data said “as a result of this dangerously overbroad access and lax attitude toward privacy and security, employees and third-party contractors were able to view, download, and transfer customers’ sensitive video data for their own purposes.”
As part of the FTC agreement with Ring, which is good for 20 years, Ring is required to disclose to customers how much access to their data the company and its contractors have.

They just happened to get caught. They all do it.
Just like how FF workers always spit in your food.
All trash.

So basically they are just going to bury this in the terms and conditions.

I don’t mind the one on the front door of my house. No way I’d put that thing inside though.

I probably ought to pay whatever poor bastard has been monitoring my Alexas for all the shite he's seen.

Distraction from the Amazon Sidewalk tracking all of us in the US.
Tile, Fetch, Careband use it, and now:

I put one in my bedroom with the explicit hope that Amazon employees would be watching.

Just give me a free year of the pro subscription, and we’re good.

It is more surprising how many are shocked that some perv is looking at the stored videos.

I work with a guy that has another brand of camera all through his house. He’s a lot more trusting than I am. You know those employees (and contractors) watch personal footage all the time. They’re just not usually caught.

Have to agree to it to use lol. It’s a catch all from them and they’re smart. Evil
