It’s safe to say, don’t buy cameras from shady places.
“Iowa sued Temu and its Chinese parent company on Wednesday, claiming the online retailer violates Iowans privacy rights and exposes them to spying by the Chinese government.”
Also, Cyb3rMaddy Investigated a Camera from Temu. There is some truth to China harvesting your data. But! Data was also being sent to servers in the U.S.
Yes they do!
“Amazon agreed to a $5.8 million settlement with the FTC following claims that Ring allowed employees and contractors unrestricted access to customer video data. The company was also hit with a class-action lawsuit in Seattle alleging its cameras collected and stored “face prints” of bystanders without consent.”
“Alexa & Fire TV: Amazon paid a $25 million penalty to settle FTC allegations that it violated children’s privacy by holding onto Alexa voice recordings longer than necessary. Additionally, a proposed class action accuses Amazon of utilizing Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) to secretly spy on consumers’ Fire TV viewing habits to sell targeted ads.”
You are just being very nit picky with this specific link.
To clarify, Amazon will never be sued by Iowa, even though it’s certainly guilty of exactly the same thing as Temu.
I just gave you examples of how Amazon faced actual financial consequences because of spying. In fact, way worse than the little Iowa link I shared. I should have shared the link you helped me find, lol! You actually helped me with information.
