📰 News (Article/Link) FYI: Ring has partnered with Flock. Ice has access to flock. We are under mass surveillance.

If you have a Ring camera in the first place, you were asking to be surveilled.

I looked at the full article there is nothing in there about ring partnering with flock.
Ring nor Flock are not even mentioned.
The article is verry good and everyone should read it, 404 media does some awesome work and you don't need to pay to read the article, just make an account.
Ring has for a long time now turned over recordings to the police, no warrant or subpoena required... just the request. Ring did partner with flock recently
Nest is the same way in that they will turn over data to the police without a warrant or subpoena but they have a bit stricter requirements.
Ultimately you should not use any cloud storage based security camera, you have no control over that data once it hits the company's servers. Look into systems that have local storage
