But theverge's headline is terrible ("Ring steps back from sharing video with police – mostly"). It manages to omit any mentions of systematic privacy violations, warrantless access, any potential constitutional issues, any FTC investigation, any settlement.

There were many other harsher headlines that could have been used.

My first thought as well. Had to turn off reader more to appreciate it, but man, what a great find.
