unrelated to this particular article, but it seems nytimes coverage is tending more and more towards tech Luddite category these days. It is one thing to inform the readers but they seem to be bent on spreading fear about all things tech.

This is exactly what you should expect when tech companies get to run roughshod over any regulations or consumer protections.

This isn't fear mongering against technology. This is bringing up absolute points about corporations completely out of control. I mean, for all that is good, the phone companies are still fighting the government on why it is good they can sell our cellphone/location data to whoever they want.

Lol, what consumer protections?

Tech nowadays evokes fear all by itself.

From drones to cellphones to Smart TVs to cars, it's all big brother now.

Orwell could only dream about the things that are possible, and our governments certainly don't seem to be fighting for the little guy who wants to live a private life.
