I mean, is it really that bad if it sends some code up to amazon cloud / your account to let it know you just bought a new sofa or such?
What’s the concern? We are going to see more and more things like this in the coming years. A lot of this can be helpful to us, a lot helpful for the companies sometimes more than us, but does it really hurt us that much?
It’s not like there is someone at amazon monitoring everything you do like they are watching big brother staring you, is just some data sent to the cloud with an algorithm that does something about that. I think people are just a little jumpy about it.
What we do need is some transparency about what data is being sent, it would be good if there were laws and we were able to see exactly what it had collected and what they had done with it, then i am okay with it.
