Last month, a https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/09/16/chris-gilliard-sees-digital-redlining-in-surveillance-tech/ (must-read profile) of https://twitter.com/hypervisible (Chris Gilliard) by Will Oremus for The Washington Post also started out with concerns about Ring, before detailing Gilliard’s perspective and background.
