This is a flawed argument. Your walking around with a phone in ur pocket, they don't need your camera to track you. That and just about every intersection has a camera on it. The network to track you has so many more data points than my ring camera. They track every penny you spend, where you work, where you buy groceries, the porn you watch. Yea my camera is contributing to mass surveillance, but as long as you own a cell phone getting rid of your ring camera isn't going to help you the way you might think. If you want to stop mass surveillance you need to boondock on public lands. Once you own anything and get connected to the internet, it's game over!

I choose to carry my phone in my pocket, and I can choose not to carry it. I can even choose to have someone else carry it north while I go south. I can go anywhere in my city on foot or a bike and be entirely untracked by anything, except those damn doorbell cameras. At most I might be picked up by a traffic camera or two, but I can do any number of things to not be recognized, but not if they can follow my movements back to my house. Those cameras fill the last gaps of untracked freedom of movement.
