Do people really want this stuff or are they forced to use it? When your options are either buying this IoT thing or not buying the thing at all, what can you do?
- yumraj 5y agoI don't think anyone is forced to buy an Amazon Eco speaker, a Google Home or an Apple Homepod. Given that people are buying these tells me that some people want it and are willing to sacrifice privacy. Similarly, a lot of people are willing to buy a Tesla despite all the monitoring that that car does. And so on. So, it is obvious that a certain percentage of people don't care about privacy. Now, what is dangerous is that a substantial percentage of these people are so called tech-savvy and even people in the tech industry. So, if they don't care despite them being able to understand the privacy issues, the general population which looks at these people for buying advice is certainly not going to care.
