Default Amazon's Ring security shares your personal data with Facebookand Google, report says

Ring users may have more than secure passwords and hackers to think
about.

A report surfaced Monday suggesting that the Amazon-owned company
shares tons of users' personal information with lots of different
sources including Facebook, even if you don't have a Facebook account.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation published its findings after
closely examining the Android version of the Ring app.

The non-profit determined that the app is "packed with third-party
trackers sending out a plethora of customers' personally identifiable
information." And this is done "without meaningful user notification
or consent and, in most cases, no way to mitigate the damage done,"
the EFF said.


Can't blame Bill Gates and Windows for this one. Thank you
stupid Mac users and privacy invading Linux coders.
