Not to worry though it is just the gig testers posting a few pictures...you can rest assured there is no huge data center that holds every image ever captured. Right?
I mean we know it has fully mapped your house via digital images. I am sure you are safe.

I never had any interest in one. Not due to privacy concerns, I didn't know they had a camera, just figured it was an expensive gizmo to avoid a few minutes of pushing a broom and probably didn't do a good job anyway.

What the hell AIN'T spying on us??

Remember when the Alexa spying story broke several years ago? This is how a conversation went with my son one day we were at Walmart.

Me: Hey look, it's those things that spy on you.

My son: Governments?

Me: No, the little things that spy on you.

My son: Cell phones?

Me: No, the other little things that spy on you.
