Reason #1 - I agree Reason #2 - Nobody disagrees with this. The robots would probably clean better Non-Reason #1 - There's a lot more information than the layout of the home which can be gathered by these robots. The layout of the home argument is a strawman. Of course the government knows how your rooms are partitioned. But the layout of your furniture, kids toys on the floor, water bowls for pets are just some of the things which can be detected just via blind exploration. The new models have cameras, I mean. And if you're saying 'but then all this data can already be inferred from your shopping history'. Yes, yes it can, but also another data point confirming speculative data can be valuable. Also, they can expose this data without your consent to the police and the data can be used against you in court. Think drug paraphernalia left of the floor or a stash of cash under your bed. Amazon's privacy policy states that they will share information with law enforcement in case of 'emergency'. A roomba with a camera turned on remotely is a wet dream for cops. Non-Reason #2 - Yeah, for now. Non-Reason #3 - `They already know this information` - they will know that information better. Whenever I hear this argument 'Oh, they already know'. No, they don't already 'know'. They have indicators about a particular piece of intelligence and now they'll have more. And the information you're talking about is the information which can be collected with the current sensors on the robot on the market. Who's to say what the future brings? Reason #0 - That's incredibly reductionist about what a company the size of Amazon does. But sure, have it your way. They sell things. This will enable them to sell things better. But that doesn't dismiss the fact that Amazon did and does share your personal information with law enforcement without customer consent and without a warrant. And let's not forget, Amazon received the largest GDPR fine in history. I would not trust any of my data to Amazon, let alone invite them into my house. Comments like yours, on a forum filled with people actually working on data collection related features makes me lose all hope that we'll actually reach a point in which the industry will side with the consumer. Just to remind everyone about the 'this is fine..' comments. Amazon bought Ring: 'this is fine..' - shared footage with LEO agencies without a warrant and without consent. Amazon releases Alexa 'this is fine..' - 'Amazon and third parties are collecting and sharing Alexa voice interactions from Echo speakers with up to 41 different advertising partners'.
