00:00Amazon-owned Ring has canceled a planned partnership with law enforcement tech provider
00:05Flock Security after widespread backlash following its Super Bowl ad promoting a new
00:10search party AI feature.
00:12The feature uses doorbell cameras to help find lost pets.
00:16And critics, including privacy advocates and lawmakers, argued the commercial stoked fears
00:21of mass surveillance and raised concerns about Ring's broader collection and sharing of video
00:26footage.
00:26Ring says the Flock integration was never launched, no customer videos were shared and
00:32it remains committed to user privacy while continuing other law enforcement tools like
00:36its community requests feature.
