Big Brother just got an upgrade.

Starting December, Amazon’s Ring cameras will scan and recognize faces. Don’t want to be in their database? Too bad — walk past a Ring and your face can be stored, tagged, & analyzed without consent.

One step closer to total surveillance.

Need to normalise IR and UV LED strobe flares, blind those CCDs.

UV??? That'll just damage our eyes, please don't encourage that. IR, 100%

There has to be a way to make one that is powerful enough to blind the cameras but not damage eyes.
