Ring forever became the 3rd party police with these things. I'll never own one, no matter what lies they trot out.

It's all marketing garbage, because their profits were impacted. Nothing more.

I don’t get it.

This article points to concrete actions that Amazon is taking. It explicitly states end result. We can all agree that needing to get a warrant first makes things harder, yes?

Are you implying that they are lying about this? Or are you implying that it’s meaningless because it’s not being done for what you see as commendable reasons?

Please don’t use my questions as an opportunity to get on your soapbox. I am really just trying to understand if this is anything more than “Amazon bad”.

TFA states that they're still giving police footage without warrants. So if their claim is that they stopped giving police footage without warrants, then yeah, that would be a lie.

But it sounds like they're freely admitting that they're going to continue giving footage without a warrant. So I wouldn't call it a lie, more a marketing strategy. "Oh we pinky promise we won't give away your footage without a warrant! ... Well, except maybe that one time. But that was a special case, surely you understand."
