  He said he did understand that videos would be taken from inside his home and that they would be tagged. “I felt that the company handled the disclosure of the data collection responsibly,” he wrote in an email, pointing to both the consent agreement and the device’s prominently placed sticker reading “video recording in process.” But, he emphasized, “I’m not an average internet user.”
context: Been in tech dev for about 30 years. I don't do facebook, twitter. I didn't do myspace. I avoid things like Alexa in my home, 'internet enabled light bulbs', vacuum cleaners with cameras in them.. and I put black electrical tape over any camera in laptops/devices.
  People are often surprised by that, they think I'd do the opposite 'because I work in tech'
  No. It's because I work in tech that I avoid those things. >
  
  There are 2 types of I.T. people, those who embrace IOT and connect anything/everything to the internet,  and those who keep a gun beside the printer in case it starts to act weird. >

  It's not consumers' fault they don't have time to read a novel for every purchase they make. Companies should stop being shitty, and the government should help keep this nonsense from happening >
  
  Haha! The government not pissing on consumers and letting companies get away with literally anything, good one!
  Wait.. this isn't r/jokes! >
  
  Buy stupid shit, win stupid prizes. I know that's not how the saying goes but my nail clipper doesn't need internet connectivity! And neither does the washing machine or the fridge or the RC. These things yell spyware so hard it can be heard on the moon. And even when it doesn't, some hacker will take charge of it to spread kiddie porn. Stop buying this shit!
