For those commenting that IG may be secretly and nefariously using data from the camera for business purposes; IG has a "download your data tool". It includes all the of your data that IG stores. Spoiler Alert: silently-recorded feeds from your camera are not in that dump.
- marketneutral 6y agoThe fact that the suspected secret data is not in the public “download your data” tool is not really an argument that it doesn’t exist.
- dencodev 6y agoAgreed, and I think this is obvious. Facebook probably has a thousand metrics of how long you spend looking at things, what you tend to look at, how likely you are to look at something different. None of this is downloadable.

- cwhiz 6y agoUh huh. Sure it does. And who is auditing that?

- Nextgrid 6y agoJust like Facebook's "download your data" tool used to not include the companies that shared information about you... until they decided to make this public (and provide a UI to see it) and then suddenly it appeared in the data dump. I am not saying whether the camera behavior is incompetence or malice, I am just saying that "download your data" features rarely give you all your data, both for malicious reasons (in the case of Facebook) as well as technical reasons (some data in raw form might belong to multiple individuals so you can't just give them that raw version and need to write extra code to sanitize that data which might not have been done yet so until then you would be missing that data).
