Editorialized title, also buries the lede. Article states nothing about any application of judgement with regards to whether a piece of data is important or not. All data ends up on the backend servers, and the only thing making it difficult to collate and recover is the tooling wasn't there before. It is now safe to say that that tooling will now exist subsequent to this investigation. Feel free to discuss implications amongst yourselves.
Yes. I was waiting for someone to write something about this. It was a Google Nest camera though, not Ring if you can fix the title.
Actual title: Guthrie doorbell video delayed by difficult data recovery, but privacy advocates still worry
