Who’s That Knocking At My Door? Ring Facial Recognition Class Action Lawsuit Filed
A class action lawsuit has been filed against Ring alleging the company used facial recognition technology on footage captured by its doorbell cameras without proper user consent. The suit targets one of the most widely deployed home surveillance products in the country.
Why this matters: Ring cameras are everywhere. People bought them to see who is at the door. If facial recognition was running on that footage without anyone's knowledge, that is a very different product than what most people thought they had. It also means neighbors, delivery workers, and anyone who walked past a house became part of a biometric database they never agreed to join. Facial recognition at the doorstep is not a niche privacy issue. It is the front of almost every home in America.
