Big tech immediately cut ties with the company.

Apparently they have access to Smart devices, but through apps.
The whole thing is not a big scandal for big tech.
It is a shady company doing shady stuff.
It just reminds you should not install untrustworthy apps, or limit the amount of apps, etc.
- Timshel 2y agoDid they cut ties the same way they cut ties with "Cambridge Analytica" ? It's not big tech fault but it's such a "surprise" that there is some compagny doing shady stuff. Maybe in a year Microsoft will cut ties with xandr (https://techcrunch.com/2024/07/08/microsoft-owned-adtech-xandr-accused-of-eu-privacy-breaches/ https://techcrunch.com/2024/07/08/microsoft-owned-adtech-xan...).

- cm2012 2y ago"Did they cut ties the same way they cut ties with "Cambridge Analytica" ?" This is completely nonsensical. Cambridge Analytica was a company that used personality quizzes on Facebook and took advantage of the open-to-everyone social graph API when it existed. They then claimed that people answering shitty personality quizzes somehow unlocked secret advertising magic to elect Trump. So no, they did not "partner" with Facebook. And their data was all bunk, too, as a professional digital advertiser I can promise you they didn't move the election one way or the other.
