Smart Amazon doorbells are leading to racial profiling in Skid Row, LA
‘I used to think the internet would save us but not anymore’
In his brilliant new CBC Docs series 'The Internet of Everything', Brett Gaylor explores how the internet is changing our cities, our homes, our bodies and our future.
In this episode, smart doorbell's like those made by the Amazon-owned Ring are working with police to enable user-generated call-outs, which could lead to more racial profiling, isolating places like Skid Row in LA, which borders on more gentrified neighbourhoods.
