    I may have already posted this, but I didn’t see it when I looked, so here it is again.

    #Amazon is connecting Ring and Echo devices across individual networks, so that neighbors with slow networks or network downtime can still use their devices via bandwidth provided by their neighbors’ Amazon devices. This, of course, completely short-cuts your own network’s security settings .

    This is opt-out (on by default), not opt-in (off by default), so those who have such devices must follow the instructions to change them.

      You Need to Opt Out of Amazon Sidewalk
      from Gizmodo
      Have you heard of Amazon Sidewalk? Probably not. But there is a good chance that you or someone you know has an Amazon Echo or Ring camera. And if you own one of those devices and live in the U.S. (or know someone who does), you need to tell them to opt-out of the service as soon as possible.
