This is a victory in a long fight, not just against blanket police surveillance, but also against a culture in which private, for-profit companies build special tools to allow law enforcement to more easily access companies’ users and their data—all of which ultimately undermine their customers’ trust.
Yeah, there are definitely cameras in the lobby, but none of the individual floors. And they’re not ring cameras or whatever the Amazon ones are called. The personal doorbell cameras are a huge security risk and a malevolent actor could hijack my neighbor’s to see when I’m not home. So it puts me in more risk, arguably. Not to mention whatever shitty security the camera company has. The building is a little older and the cameras in he lobby are cctv, so a little different. And I get being cautious. I just wish it weren’t pointed at my door. Like you said, I can always talk to them.
