Protecting One's iThing From Ring App Data Sharing

If you are using an iThing (phone or pad) to control your Ring security system, you can throw a wrench into the data sharing scheme that is presently upsetting many Ring system users (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/01/ring-doorbell-app-packed-third-party-trackers). Visit the App Store, download and install “Lockdown Apps”. You only need the free blocker part. Set it to block branch.io, mixpanel.com, graph.facebook.com, and appsflyer.com. This is a temporary solution until Ring corrects a very serious business problem. A security company simply should not be sharing its customer’s personal information with ANYONE. Stupifying. I know nothing about Android, but there may be a similar band-aid for that, as well. Lockdown can be used in a much more general way to block tracker. Good app.
