I have to say, it's nice that they got called out on this immediately for a change.
It's about dogs and crime. Sure.
fuckin'… they were expanding into dogs to distract from what the system was really for
I never even heard of it before the superb owl ad. I couldn't believe how dirty it was to tug at our heartstrings to make us pay them to spy on us.
What the fuck, America?
Wait till you learn about flock cameras and the raven sound detection
Is that the one listening out for gunshots? I don't necessarily have a problem with that unless it's listening in on conversations or something. But that would be a pretty good mic.
Hell, they were saying it was for dogs so stupid people would get their heart strings pulled and blindly sign up.
Y’all just need to think about the shareholders.
No shit Sherlock
And in other breaking news: the sky is blue, tree pretty, and fire hot.
Only if it's a lemon tree.
A lemon tree, my dear Watson?
As long as there are no whores about.
I bet we could convince the lemon stealing whores to join the lemon party.
No kidding? Next thing you will be telling us that chatcontrol and age checks on the internet will be used for more than just protecting kids from pedophiles and be extended to crushing dissent and opposition and democracy itself, and building social scores on us with all information including these cameras that will be used secretly against us in a way we cannot know or challenge to determine our jobs, background checks, police scrutiny, how courts and government treats you, how business treats you, the prices you are offered online and in digital price tag stores (coming soon,) and even what search results you are shown. All calculated by the antichrist's company, for said pedophile or pedophile adjacent politicians deciding which of us are undesirable, and given a way to slip names of people into the bad score list themselves, always a selling perk under the table to leaders.
It's always just a trojan horse to get in the walls. It will never end with finding pets, with stopping child abuse, what have you. They find the instance that no one can disagree with then accuse people of helping child abusers, maybe you are a child abuser yourself! It's not subtle. All done by people that are mostly on the epstein's redacted and unreleased pages for actually fucking children.
Dont forget claims they also ate children.
Off the record, Siminoff could be heard saying "Dogs today, blacks tomorrow and people later."^[Citation needed]
What if your kid runs off? Your elderly mother wondered off? A break in was reported down the road? What if all non whites are labeled terrorist? We need to watch you 24/7. Obey
Lol fucking duh
😱
No way! It seemed so authentic when they said they’d search for dogs.
Imagine spending millions on an ad to alert people to your evil scheme.
Proof that you don’t have to be smart to be rich and powerful.
It shows you how insular these people must be. That ad was the result of meeting after meeting, plan after plan. They had convinced themselves that the public would eat it up. We would be like "Holy shit that's amazing, let's give you ALL our data and video and privacy!". They actually thought we would go for it. lol.
To be fair, I'm actually pleasantly surprised that people didn't go for it.
It's not like majority of people seemed to give a shit about privacy not too long ago...
Same.
I was sure the emotional manipulation tactic would be extremely effective. Guess it was a little too blatant, even for the general public.
Why anyone would have non-locally hosted video surveillance in and around their home is beyond me.
You're basically begging corporations/governments to spy on you.
This is what the data centers are for. And also why all hard drive capacity for 2026 has already been sold. Video takes up a massive amount of space.
I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you.
Ok… I’m not shocked at all.

Yeah, we all saw that coming and it's exactly why everyone's freaking out about it.

You know.. here's the thing..
Years ago, I'd be on Reddit and reading the usual rants and raves about the government, and how the public should be wary of it and we are heading into a security state.. and I always positied that the real threat actors WRT privacy and security were going to be companies like facebook and google and the businesses that made internet-connected devices.
Compared to them, as far as data colleciton and surveillance of people - the government was filled with rank amateurs.
I'd consistently get downvoted or pooh-poohed for being "naive."
God fucking dammit.. on this.. I am absolutely pissed off that I was calling this one - and have been - for over a decade.
FML, I hate this SOOOOOO much.
edward snowden pretty much spilled the beans on government mass surveillance many years ago, but most people just said "meh...whatever"
Between Ring and Jeffrey Epstein, it's surprising how explicit criminals are about their criminal intentions.
The whole "find lost dogs" thing was likely the result of a single meeting with the agenda item "how do we sell this thing we are already doing as anything other than mass surveillance for state actors?" They probably ended it early.
I'm.... flabbergasted. Unbelievable. Who would've thought?
Boycott ring

They lied?!
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
