Jason Kelley and Matthew Guariglia, analysts for a nonprofit organization that defends digital civil liberties called the Electric Frontier Foundation, published a petition Wednesday demanding Ring sever ties with police departments.

"Across the United States, people are taking to the street to protest racist police violence, including the tragic police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. This is a historic moment of reckoning for law enforcement," Kelley and Guariglia wrote. "Technology companies, too, must rethink how the tools they design and sell to police departments minimize accountability and exacerbate injustice."

Ring allows users to view live or recorded security footage from their homes on their computers or smartphones. The system has an accompanying app called Neighbors, which is where police come into the picture. Police departments can request footage from users if they feel someone's Ring footage can help reveal evidence, but users can also deny police access. RIng's website states that its mission is to "reduce crime in neighborhoods."

White people attending these lynchings would photograph the bodies, share postcards, people would take body parts, this was a part of white community formation and white supremacist formation were these ritualized acts. And so what are the rituals that are happening now, when it's platforming or mediated through YouTube?
