let's get this stupid social media purity test thing out of the way: blah blah blah, i oppose surveillance.

now that that's over, the phone is definitely more powerful surveillance technology than a ring camera

you can turn off your phone, so uh, it's not as powerful as it seems.

and practically speaking, ring cameras run out of battery all the time. and also, you can cover them.

the stupidest thing about this whole discourse is that, by participating in it in the particular way that you are, you are feeding directly into what Amazon wants, which is for their absolutely dogshit technology to be perceived as something a lot more valuable and powerful than it really is.
