Give Ring the Finger for that Superbowl Ad

I saw the most horrifying ad ever during the Super Bowl this last weekend. Ring (the company that makes camera doorbells) tried to convince us that their AI-assisted image recognition software would help save the PWOOR WIDDLE PUBBIES! when it's clear as day that they're building a surveillance network using customers who are opted in to the 'service' by default without their consent.

Even if you weren't already aware of and terrified of the surveillance by corporations like Google, Meta, and others, hopefully you get that when they sell this to government agencies like ICE, the NSA, FBI, and so on, that's a big, big problem.

Ring needs to be given the finger in every way possible. We need to tell the to shove their surveillance where the sun don't shine – encourage state Attorney Generals to sue and block this and, ideally, to do go further and investigate/fine/pass laws to protect our data gathered by Amazon echos and similar.
