IoT has no Oversight Committee? /x/ AF

IoT is actually really scary, like it's amazing how much control these things will have over our life eventually.

Some people don't think about it, but having your lights controlled through your phone? The data accumulated would basically boil down to 'this is when x person has their lights on'. But. that data could be sold to all sorts of companies: telemarketers, electric companies, and in worse case scenarios, human traffickers. Even those little floor cleaning robots can make maps of the interior of your home, and if that data gets into the wrong hand, your entire floor plan could be on display for anyone.

Complete control won't happen soon - probably not for another 30-50 years - but the idea of it is still frightening.

What are you talking about? Sorry I'm 12 years old.
