Transparent disclosure doesn't mean shit when the company can honestly say what it's doing and there's zero repercussions for it.

- ethbro 7y agoAre there? I couldn't point to one IoT / internet-enabled appliance that I would say is transparent about its adtech to non-technical users.
- jellicle 7y agoI think it would make a difference if some TVs came with large stickers mandated on the box, advertising, and included within, that said: "THIS TELEVISION MONITORS ALL OF YOUR VIEWING HABITS AND THE DATA IS SOLD FOR PROFIT. ANY TIME IT IS USED, THE PROGRAM BEING WATCHED IS SENT TO THE MANUFACTURER. IF YOU DECLINE TO BE MONITORED, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO RETURN IT FOR 30 DAYS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE AT NO CHARGE TO YOU." and some did not.
