Roomba testers feel misled after intimate images ended up on Facebook
- chiefalchemist 4y agoImagine letting a stranger into your home. She/he carries a camera and perhaps a microphone. The stranger makes some promises about the content she/he might collect, but somehow those promises are unfulfilled. Who would be surprised? These devices are called out in "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism". I can understand my mum not getting it. But Greg the software engineer? He shouldn't be surprised. Aside from software bugs, there's always the human element. Humans are far from foolproof. For better or worse, privacy takes work. You want convenience? Then made privacy isn't your thing? Otherwise, grab a broom (to clean your floors) and stop letting (surveillance Capitalism) strangers into your life. Yes, that sounds harsh. But The Truth can and does hurt sometimes. https://www.amazon.com/Age-Surveillance-Capitalism-Future-Frontier/dp/1610395697 https://www.amazon.com/Age-Surveillance-Capitalism-Future-Fr...
