The Surveillance Technology Oversight Project, a New York-based privacy group, is warning that Apple AirTags and Amazon Ring doorbells pose significant privacy threats similar to those of Flock safety cameras. S.T.O.P. communications director Will Owen said these devices come with myriad privacy risks, though he argued Flock's massive nationwide network of license plate readers constitutes a far larger dragnet. The comments add to ongoing debate over everyday consumer surveillance technology.
Why now: Growing public concern over the surveillance capabilities of widely used consumer devices like Flock cameras, Ring doorbells and AirTags.
