    "tear it out of the wall. yank the power. ring gives ice free access to those"

        @Viss At the VERY least, put tape over the camera and cancel your cloud subscription until you can get it replaced

                      @Herndonite but the bigger question, is why are you defending flock and ice?

                          @Herndonite framing it as anything other than "ice can see through ring cameras" is softening it, and 100% of the time some rando responds to a thread with nothing but a link to a snopes link, it implies they are "calling bullshit".

                          so if i say "ring can see through ice cameras" and you reply with nothing but a link to a snopes article, it implies you are calling bullshit on my statement.

                          which in this context means you are defending ring and ice from me.

                            Sorry. I don't know you and I hadn't heard of this connection between ICE and Ring, so I sought out more information.

                            Your post didn't offer any information to back up the Ring/ICE connection ( though you may have in previous posts -- I should have checked) so I after reading the Snopes item which raised plenty of red flags, I linked to it in my reply.

                            Perhaps I should have added more context in doing that, so apologize if I offended you.

                              @Herndonite well today youve learned that when you post a link to a snopes article and no other explanation thats 'internet speak for':

                              'your statement is bullshit and snopes says youre wrong'

                                Lesson learned.

                                I will add, that I see lots of people posting claims on Mastodon which on reflex I agree with and am tempted to pass along. However, if it is something I have not seen other information on, I will check it out myself. That way I am not unintentionally spreading misinformation.

                                The right has made a meal out of posting lies and spreading unfounded fear knowing that their base will not verify their claims. I think those of us on the other side, should strive to be better.

                                  @JessTheUnstill @Viss they control the software. Don't expect that cancelling a cloud subscription prevents them from accessing the device they built and control. It just prevents you from accessing it.

                                    @zymurgic @Viss I'm saying for people who aren't handy, it may take some time and go buy a new doorbell and install it. And they probably need a working doorbell in the process. So at least harm reduction.

                                      @zymurgic There seems to be a lot of people that think user interfaces run by a company are somehow objective and will do what they say they will.

                                      – I pressed the button named ”Delete account”, so I’m safe.

                                      – But did you check what the button was connected to?

                                          @zymurgic There seems to be a lot of people that think user interfaces run by a company are somehow objective and will do what they say they will.

                                          – I pressed the button named ”Delete account”, so I’m safe.

                                          – But did you check what the button was connected to?

                                          @ahltorp @zymurgic very frustraiting trend recently where 'delete account' actually means 'just make it so i cant access it but keep all the data and information you have about me online forevermore'
