I like that it was brought back to "risk," but it seems like the argument is using semantics to obfuscate that the thesis is essentially, "So what if someone can access an always-on microphone in your house?"
The headline as I see it now is "Several baby monitors vulnerable to hacking," which is more descriptive than the given "Is your baby monitor safe?" but wouldn't have made as succinct of a headline.* Would the same post have been made if the headline were "Is your baby monitor private"? If it's not private, that'd be news to me, even if all somebody gets to overhear is "Goodnight, Moon" for the 10,000th time.
*I'm not saying "hacking" is a good word either, because that can mean a lot of different things, including "make the thing blow up."
