A doorbell company owned by Amazon wants to start producing “crime news” and it’ll definitely end well
Because what good is a panopticon if you can’t generate some clicks?
With "Ring" Amazon manufactures intercoms with video function. So far, so good. Now the company wants to turn the recorded material directly and indirectly into money and is setting up its own media department. This department will probably process the most exciting recordings in the well-known reality TV style and bring them to the people with a "journalistic" touch. Practical side effect: Ring has a suitable offer for those who are afraid of the videos.
