- Ring's Super Bowl ad for 'Search Party' feature faced backlash for enabling neighborhood surveillance.
- Fulu Foundation offers a $10,000+ bounty to disable Ring's data-sharing with Amazon while retaining core features.
- Winners must modify Ring cameras to work locally without sending data to Amazon, using accessible tools and methods.
- Legal concerns under DMCA Section 1201 prevent public release of modifications, leaving winners to decide disclosure.
