Home security company Ring has fired employees for watching in on customers’ videos, according to a new letter from parent company Amazon.

“Over the last four years, Ring has received four complaints or inquiries regarding a team member’s access to Ring video data,” wrote Brian Huseman, a vice president for public policy at Amazon, in the letter penned earlier this week to five U.S. senators.

“Although each of the individuals involved in these incidents was authorized to view video data, the attempted access to that data exceeded what was necessary for their job functions,” Huseman went on.

“In each instance, once Ring was made aware of the alleged conduct, Ring promptly investigated the incident, and after determining that the individual violated company policy, terminated the individual.”

Public example to support the sham claim that the company doesn’t monitor.

Government pulls the same trick to support the sham claim that government policies its snooping on the public, or that the government respects the so-called “right to privacy.”

"Ring has decided to cease selling their present electronic devices. Starting in February, they will station an employee or two in each customer's home to record noises and take video of what is going outside and inside the home 24 hours a day. These mobile employee teams will be more able to protect the homeowners. We will store all recordings for future use."
