If any of you have an Alexa or Ring device, Amazon pushes Sidewalk out on June 8th to these devices.
There's a short window to "Opt Out". If you have either of these devices, strongly suggest you look into disabling this option asap.
RDL-
Under and out!
Some folks mouths, flat out runs their minds.

It means if you have a casual conversation in your home, maybe joking around about a blowup doll for instance, poof, a blowup doll will appear at your door

They SAY it's to extend the wifi network but who doesn't have unlimited data nowadays? I think it's to monitor and collect data on you and everybody that comes around your house.

My old 2nd gen Amazon Echo won't have this Sidewalk capability, unfortunately.

I'm not seeing anything regarding "Sidewalk" on my Ring System. I have Blink too and Amazon Fire Sticks. I will have to look into those.
Thanks for the heads up.

I disabled mine on my Ring app yesterday, Where did you find this in the settings. I can't find it. Never mind, I found that I did not link my Ring to Amazon. So I am good with the Ring.
