Big Brother just got an upgrade.

Starting December, Amazon’s Ring cameras will scan and recognize faces. Don’t want to be in their database? Too bad — walk past a Ring and your face can be stored, tagged, & analyzed without consent.

One step closer to total surveillance.

Oh I do love a bit of ablelism. I'm clearly disabled. Even if I am, does that mean I'm undeserving of leaving the house safe in the knowledge that if I forget to lock the door, it's still locked.

I have shown you that you can't tell by looking at the lock.

I have suggested other locks than electric. Yale, keypad.

I do not want to replace my lock, I want to add another lock.

1 abhorrent statement and 3 incorrect statements. Can you admit they're incorrect? Or like the door (that was weird), would you like evidence?

Now answer the question, which of the above locks were locked?
