This is a victory in a long fight, not just against blanket police surveillance, but also against a culture in which private, for-profit companies build special tools to allow law enforcement to more easily access companies’ users and their data—all of which ultimately undermine their customers’ trust.

    I still think non-cloud security cameras are the only sane choice, even if more expensive and difficult to set up and less convenient. Even if they aren’t doing it openly there is no way federal agencies don’t have secret access to this.

        If not state surveillance what’s the concern?

          Anyone besides myself seeing my camera feed. I don’t care who it is.
