if you are in a neighborhood where everyone makes above a certain level of money literally every door has one. this is true across countries even(the cameras might not be called ring tho)

turns out people do want a surveillance state, they were just uncomfortable putting cameras on the roofs

"turns out people do want a surveillance state"

I don't think that follows. How is wanting a bit of personal security the same as wanting a "surveilance state"?

because it doesn't stop at personal security - they participate in the forums set up by ring and share videos of "problematic activity".

that is a fundamental part of owning a ring camera - if you just cared about personal security you would buy a gun instead or live in a gated community. a camera isn't gonna do anything for you.
