Is My Vibrator Spying On Me? is an incredibly interesting academic article that looks at the privacy, security and surveillance capitalism risks of data collection including through app-connected sex toys, highlighting how they can collect sensitive personal data and what could happen if that information isn’t properly protected. Explaining that laws and regulations haven’t kept up with these technologies, this means users don’t always know how their data is being used or shared and what impact their data can have both individually and across the wider community. The article argues that better privacy protections and clearer data practices are needed so people can use personal devices and apps with more confidence and provides measures we can take to increase our own data resistance to surveillance capitalism. A thought provoking and compelling read on anti-surveillance sextech. Highly recommended. Is My Vibrator Spying On Me?
