Amazon is plagued by a myriad of ethical issues and this latest disclosure highlights its unwillingness to protect customers' data. It's time for consumers to decide whether the convenience offered by the tech company is really worth their privacy.
Amazon acted well within its legal and ethical rights by disclosing the surveillance videos to law enforcement - who had judged each instance to constitute an emergency. Despite criticisms, police access to Ring's network could substantially support law enforcement's work.
