Advice taken. Thanks yet again. I'm planting your flag on this thread cuz you saved it twice.

@gbargoud I'm keeping my error up so more people can fact check me. You're the hero of this thread.

@gbargoud Thanks for keeping me honest. Last I heard, it was a done deal... but that was awhile ago.

In any case, we all know a little bit more about Roomba. Thanks again, though.

Amazon has been in the surveillance and data collection and data mining game for most of its years.

They even tried to buy Roomba, which exists to send 3d images of your floor plan back to h.q. under the guise of cleaning.

IOT was never about our convenience. It was always about surveillance.

Do people really not know these things or are they waiting for the bandwagon to feel some kind of way?

None of this is new.

Years ago, when websites and corporations said, "We track you to give you personalized ads..." I was like "You lost me at the tracking part."

Never considered using biometrics, facial scanning, retina scanning or anything of the like on any device.

These things are not supposed to know me. They're supposed to do a thing when I'm using them and stop doing things until I need to use them again.

All data will get exploited in the Information Age.
