    Which is why these companies that are marketing wifi and cloud-polling devices should be held responsible for the data breaches and regulated more rigorously.

    It should be cost-prohibitive to design a smart device that sends data to a centralized server, but they do it because the upside value of having the data is so attractive. They shouldn’t be allowed to hide behind a ToS agreement with mandatory arbitration when their security is inevitably breached.

      Take it up with your congressman.

      Seriously. It sounds like you have an informed and well-reasoned opinion. They’re not 100% corrupt. And they usually only hear about tech from industry lobbyists.

      Let them hear from an intelligent constituent for a change.

        Good luck with that, your voice is going to be drowned out by all the companies masquerading as “people” whom they really represent.

      Good luck holding a company sitting in China “responsible” for about anything.
