Amazon is facing a class-action lawsuit over its Ring doorbell cameras' facial recognition feature, "Familiar Faces." The suit alleges that the feature collects facial data of individuals passing by Ring cameras without their consent, even though users must opt-in to enable it. Privacy advocates and a senator had previously raised concerns about the feature, which was launched in December despite the pushback. Amazon maintains that facial data is encrypted, not shared, and unidentified faces are deleted after 30 days. AI
