TMA Issues Statement Retracting Previous Thoughts on Ring Partnerships
On Aug. 7, The Monitoring Association (TMA) issued a statement condemning Ring and its partnerships with law enforcement, which SDM shared here.
In the statement, TMA President Ivan Spector was quoted saying, “We are troubled by recent reports of agreements that are said to drive product-specific promotion, without alerting consumers about these marketing relationships. This lack of transparency goes against our standards as an industry, diminishes public trust and takes advantage of these public servants. Trust is at the heart of our business, and only by establishing and abiding by clear best practices to be transparent while balancing the various public interests can we effectively navigate these waters.”
