The FEC is deciding whether Amazon can buy / keep the floorplans data for millions of US homes, businesses, and offices collected by the i-robot vacuum Roomba.
Yes, it goes back and forth over every square inch of your house cleaning - so convenient...
Oh look, the kitty / dog / kid is riding on it in the video - so cute ...
Oh look, Amazon, like with that Lexa 24/7 monitoring bitch, has been spying on you and your family, collecting every bit of data in your home.
Not just your home...
"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 deal. The purchase would provide Amazon with the health data from 188 offices around the United States."
Ain't technology wonderful...?
