Between 2016 and 2020, one Amazon Ring employee accessed thousands of video recordings from inside 81 women's bedrooms. His supervisor knew. Amazon kept him on for months. This isn't speculation—it's from official Federal Trade Commission documents. In May 2023, the FTC announced a $5.8 million settlement with Amazon over Ring's privacy violations, revealing that hundreds of employees had "unfettered access" to customer video feeds for years. This investigative deep-dive exposes how Amazon's security cameras became tools for corporate surveillance, how employees in support centers could watch your bedroom at will, and why 55,000 customers had their accounts compromised by hackers.
