Why anyone ever thinks empowering psychopathic companies is ever a good idea is beyond me. They ALWAYS fuck us over. Every damn time.
The most appalling thing is the advertisers and whoever approved this live in a bubble where people are ok with massive surveillance, and don't imagine people will freak out when they see how Amazon can watch them. At least Meta knows their users hate them but are hostages of their network, that's why Meta buys or crushes competitors before they become too big. I've not seen that since a Ford's VP bragging about how much Ford will know absoltuely everything you do with "your" car (is it really?) and backpedaled live as he realized journalists were horrified. That was a long time ago. Today it's common.
It would be good if they had a way to limit range so it couldn't focus on anything that isn't within 10 ft of the door.

WiFi connected cameras were a mistake. Although, if people are going to use these mass surveillance devices, using it to find dogs is great. It needs cat detection too.

"Amazon says the system is secured against hackers" ...You dumb evil pieces of shit, your employees and malicious government and law enforcement entities are a far greater risk than hackers. "We're spying on everything you do and giving Trump's constitution-ignoring lackeys access, but at least hackers aren't, probably"
