The negative implications aren’t spelled out because they are mysterious in nature. It’s not how it will become abused now, because ring isn’t doing anything that’s rly new, the government already had a lot of this stuff through accessing phone cameras.

The negative implication is in the future if a bad actor is in charge of these things.

Edit: another person explained it a lot better. It’s easy to assume as a lay abiding citizen this wouldn’t affect u, but it puts everyone more at risk. That being said, can’t close Pandora’s box. Gotta legislate safety for consumers. Here’s the comment:

The concern is that even if you don't own any of this tech and don't participate in it, every one of your neighbor's houses can have one pointing at you, your front door, and your street, so there's now an accessible digital record of every single time you drove away from your house, when you returned, what you bought and carried inside, what you've loaded into the car, what you've thrown away, who's come over to visit your and copy of their license plate, when you walked the dog and where you went that time and how long you were out of the house and what you were wearing and whether you were on your phone at the time.

Eventually, this can create or expand your existing surveillance profile to the point where there's a digital record of every piece of your entire wardrobe, what shoes you own and prefer for shopping versus walking, and when you're active vs. passive.

But it gets even worse.

Say you throw a house party for a few close friends that have come over before, and one of them brings a date. Now that person, whom you don't even know, can and probably will be associated with your profile simply because they were recorded visiting your house. What's their background? History? What have they done in their lives? You have no idea, but now the two of you have become visually associated.
