A man was fined under the U.K. General Data Protection Regulation after his Amazon Ring doorbell system captured data on his neighbor. Amazon has since responded, issuing a statement asking product owners to "respect their neighbors' privacy and comply with any applicable laws." Jon Woodard installed his Ring camera on his shed, which captured video and audio of his neighbor from up to 68 feet away. A judge ruled Woodard violated the U.K. GDPR and that the Ring contributed to harassment.
