With the advent of this technology, it's no longer just your data that's being risked. If you have a neighbor who owns a sidewalk-enabled appliance and doesn't want it to connect online, anybody in the neighborhood with sidewalk enabled is now an accomplice in subverting the preferences and desires of that person.

It's no longer enough to think "Well I didn't give the TV my wifi password, so it can't spy on me." Now I have to wonder about what opt-out bullshit buried deep in settings menus my neighbors neglected to disable.
