Amazon shut off a man’s smart home devices for a week after a delivery driver falsely accused the customer of hurling a racist slur via a doorbell intercom, the tech giant confirmed Thursday.


Seems like a good reason to get a doorbell that you can control yourself.

    How is it even possible that Amazon has the ability to access customers data, you would think that they encrypt it so that no one other than the owner of the device could access the data. More and more reasons to abandon the ring platform and move over to selfhosted heaven!

    Nothing says 2023 like your house getting canceled for its allegedly racist doorbell.
