Episode 68 - Doorbells Ring Hollow

Описание: What on earth were Ring and Amazon thinking when they aired their Super Bowl advert that previewed a “there’s nowhere you can hide” type of dystopian future masked as a way to find your lost dog? With cameras everywhere, are we safer or just more exposed? When camera data is deleted, is it really gone (spoiler alert: not necessarily), and more. Are we approaching the new location of the “creepy line” or as a society are we content to trade privacy for security? And what happens when the glasses with cameras become more pervasive? Are we all on cam all the time whether we like it or not? Find out as Dan, Brian, and Erik discuss and debate.
