As US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents wreak havoc on American communities,
big tech companies have been making themselves indispensable to the increasingly tyrannical state.
Among them is Amazon subsidiary Ring,
the company behind those AI doorbell cameras that have exploded in popularity over the last few years.
Back in October, Ring announced that its devices would soon be looped into a network of Flock AI surveillance cameras.
