Facebook is starting to advertise a dedicated video chat device to put into your home.
That is the last thing I would ever want, the revulsion I felt at the idea was visceral.
- CaptainZapp 8y agoMe too. And Facebook from all companies. There's probably yet another of Zuck's apology tours coming in 2019.
- genofon 8y agoI'm confident there are people at FB already preparing it.
- rvense 8y agoI wonder if it will become socially acceptable to ask people to unplug such devices when you are in their home.
- 908087 8y agoI regularly do this. Nobody has had an issue with it, and most have voiced their own concerns about the devices they own after I brought it up. Some of them have taken to unplugging them in advance when they know I'm coming by, and others have decided to ditch them entirely out of concern for their own privacy. That said, my friends and family all know my stance on privacy-invasive tech, so none of them were surprised by my requests.
- village-idiot 8y agoIt's already acceptable to ask people to put their cell phones away in social situations. "Please turn off the monitoring device in the house" is not a large leap.
