Amazon is spying on you.
From The Blaze:
On
Friday, iRobot accepted Amazon's $1.7 billion offer to purchase the
robot vacuum company. If the deal goes through, pending shareholder and
regulatory approval, the technology giant will receive a plethora of
personal data, including the floor plans of millions of users' homes.
In 2021, iRobot reported that over 40 million Roombas had been sold worldwide since the release of its first model in 2002. The small automated vacuum uses sensors to map out each room in a home. If the Federal Trade Commission approves the deal, this stored personal data will be handed over to Amazon. The company has yet to comment on how it plans to use this data.
The
purchase of iRobot is just the latest deal initiated by Amazon. In
2018, it purchased Ring, a video doorbell company. That same year,
Amazon acquired the wifi router manufacturer Eero. Amazon recently
offered One Medical, a health care clinic chain, an all-cash $3.49
billion

Also, what most people do not know is any modern television has a hidden camera and the government can turn it on even if the device is shut off. I almost hit the floor when I learned that little tidbit.
I guess all my flipping off of the t.v. served some useful purpose after all...
