If AN ELECTRICIAN sold you a smoke detector with a built in camera that they could remotely access without telling you and never turned it on would they be arrested for a CRIME ? Of course.... (unless they were a black, gay, liberal, movie star.. than all bets are off)

Companies so big they do not have to compete can treat their customers anyway they want. I've been buying tech parts for my company for over 20+ years and you do not leave a tech spec that big out of the specifications. This is clearly an attempt at covert surveillance by Google. Solution: Bust em up, bust them the fuck up. Bust Alphabet to into 20 companies and specifically Google into about 30. Outlaw all data collection and storage. Fucking period.

Alphabet is a bunch of companies.

What legal basis would you separate Google?

We should require schematics for all electronic devices to be provided. True, not many would ever look at them. I would. Later, if it was discovered some circuits weren't documented, the manufacturer would have some 'splainin' to do.

(Ps) yes, I think the source code should be made available too.

Red herring - it's about taking your wealth and making you a serf. One's most valuable possession may be citizenship, with free speech corporations place corrupt officials and destroy borders.

When you get caught say: 1) it was obvious, 2) it was written in the TOS and TOA.

Too lazy to get off sofa to push buttons. Need to say "Nest, set at 72 degrees" while wrapped in a shammy blanket, and also ordering pizza and beetus juice through it.

Seriously: I can see the commercial for it now "Are you tired of all the confusing, complicated buttons?" Shows moron exasperated that he/she can't figure out whether to push up arrow or down arrow button. "Well now you never have to leave the comfort of your couch or miss a second of precious TV time!"
