A British consumer group found that three air fryers it tested all wanted to “record audio on the user’s phone, for no specified reason”. Read it at @TechRadar. #Cybersecurity #DataPrivacy #China #Tech Technology https://flip.it/t_rVnj
Presumably this is an app? Why do you need this app? Air fryers are such a fad, 20 years ago it was those three tiered steamers.
My guess is the 'legitimate reason is for voice activation and a bunch of companies are just adding that to everything to justify harvesting more data.
Why do we need to guess? It’s not that difficult to check, but I guess that would require actual journalism.
