Ring's facial-recognition camera is being sued

A class-action lawsuit against Amazon claims Ring's 'Familiar Faces' feature secretly recorded and stored images of people walking by the camera — even when they weren't the homeowner's family. This is a classic privacy violation for a product millions of Latinos use on their porches. Why this matters for us: facial-recognition tech is already widespread and mostly unregulated — this lawsuit could set a precedent for who pays when it goes wrong.
