My progressive-but-detached friends have suddenly noticed how creepy the services are. Not sure if it's enough to get them to cancel whatever they have, but the combo of "Ring wants constant access" and "Google handed over inaccessible data" has at least gotten them to question their privacy.

Can't speak for conservatives because I don't have any of those left in my circle.
