Probably unrelated, but there was an old exploit on facebook using notes where you could paste an image tag with a URL + dynamic parameter an unlimited amount of times and facebook crawlers would hit that link however many times it was pasted in the note, essentially allowing you to DDOS a site with their servers. https://www.radware.com/blog/security/a-flaw-worth-fixing-ho...

Every time I finish some mundane task I hear the Warcraft II "chores done" play in my head. Glad I'm not alone.

I think it's mostly just a privacy issue. The idea that your every movement is being recorded by the government is Orwellian, especially when they try to hide its existence, lie about its capabilities, and you have no say in the matter (referencing NSA metadata monitoring). The average person thinks their ring camera is like their coffee maker, an individual piece of technology they own and control. If it were released that everyone's ring cameras were being fed into some NSA program running facial recognition to track citizens movement I'm sure they would be upset about that too.
