Unlike his colleagues who refuse to govern because they are too busy trying to concoct investigations into anything they don't like, Sen. Cruz is defending real Americans and what is most pressing to them. Have you ever thought that your coffee maker was spying on you? Ted wants to be your voice! All hail a man who puts aside partisan politics to champion real threats to the American public.

[quote]Have you ever been making air fryer fries at 3am and asked yourself “is this thing spying on me?”
Totally ridiculous.
Although, I've always had my suspicions about that bottle of ketchup. You know the one.

He's also the poster child of why abortion should be legal and encouraged. If only he was 86d at 14 weeks...

My air-fryer is so busy taking selfies and making TikTok videos that it doesn't have the time to spy on me.

I'm all for knowing if connected devices are eavesdropping or spying. And I'm all for making their eavesdropping only occur by prior opt-in consent.
But give us a federal privacy law that solves the issue - not another already-failed attempt like this.

It's hard for me to imagine that my $30 Cuisinart drip-coffee maker is spying on me, but whatevs. Maybe rocks are live, too.

If your Cuisinart is connected or connectable to the internet or other devices, it can spy.

The only thing it's connected to is the electrical outlet.
But the bitch has always been surly, so who knows.

I always get a laugh about all the things that supposedly spy on me, because I sure as hell don't do anything all that interesting. My coffee maker and toaster must be bored to tears

All data is useful.
If a connected appliance is using your internet, then it may be transmitting your ip address and other data (e.g., "the person at this ip address uses the toaster every day at 7 a.m., but didn't for 2 weeks so we think that means he's on vacation"). Companies will sell lists of ip addresses by likely people.
Maybe you don't care about that data about you being collected. Maybe you do. Totes up to you.

Nobody's disputing that data is useful.
Some of use just don't need the internet to make coffee in the morning.

I'm in favor of this. In fact, I think it should insist there be a way to disable cameras and microphones on any device that has them.

Here I am thinking my toaster was telling me that Jesus loves me, never suspecting that it had a hidden agenda.

Spying is when you’re being secretly observed without your consent.
If your airfryer is logging your IP address and taking photos of you crying while you open your second bottle of wine of the night and beaming it all over to the Chinese government then it was probably in the T&Cs. Consent has been given before you fried your first chicken nugget or onion ring. Ergo, this cannot be spying.
Ted’s energies would be better spent focusing on increasing consumer literacy, rather than this fucking idiotic tinhat bullshit nonsense. But that, of course, would mean not being a fucking grifting asshole. Jesus Christ, what a cunt.
