  • I have a friend who used to volunteer in Palestine. One of his jobs dealt with evictions. Basically if you’re a person anywhere in the world and you can go through historical documents and find a suggestion that your ancestors may have owned property in a certain place you can present that to Israel and they give the current residents, many who have owned their houses for multiple generations, some of whom have records of their relatives buying the land from the first family, 24 hours to leave.

    There are troops of volunteers who will come down with a moving van and help you load your entire life in because there’s nothing else you can do.

    It’s criminal.









  • As Jarfil said, it’s not automatically doing anything. The police can get a court order to get footage. It’s only given in very limited circumstances, like if the owner goes missing, or the camera might have spotted a significant crime, and it’s not just ring but basically anything. If you are suspected of a serious crime police can get your internet browsing history, they can bug your house, they can dig through your bins, and yes, can request the clips taken by your ring camera.

    It’s happened 11 times this year. That shows how rarely courts give these orders.

    The idea that Ring is some evil thing that’s doing anything different is just scaremongering.
