Thinking about it a bit more in Germany there is a law about spy devices.

Most spying on users through websites etc. doesn't fall under it do it being formulated in the pre-internet age.

But would WIFI-7 enabled routers fall under it? It's not complete unrealistic that it might happen.

The think is this law is rather strict in how illegal spy devices are to be handled => destructive disposal. (Required, by anyone owning such a device).

That could be quite a big fall out.

This law did hit some IoT devices, like some toys with integrated voice recording.
