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."

A judge ruled Woodard violated the U.K. GDPR and that the Ring contributed to harassment.
