Fox News’ Tucker Carlson reported Tuesday on patents filed by Google that purport to show a bizarre plan to spy on you and parent your children.
“In another patent application from September 2016, Google imagines how it could take control of your parenting, your relationship with your children,” Carlson explained. “Google’s smart home system could detect children near a liquor cabinet for example, or in their parents bedroom, infer that ‘mischief is occurring’ and deliver a verbal warning.”
The Daily Caller co-founder said, “In another example, Google imagines a hypothetical child called Benjamin. Google’s cameras would be watching Benjamin at all times, carefully. They could see if he’s playing outside or using electronics, presumably they’d also try to use that information to sell him things, at some point, because that’s the whole point of Google.”

If they’re already suspending and deleting your YouTube account for the wrong political opinions, why wouldn’t they get you in big trouble for parenting they didn’t like..?
“Oh, you don’t like transvestitism..?! Hello CPS..!”
Alexa, et al, IS Big Brother. I cannot figure out why ANYONE would have a ‘smart home system’ in their homes. Waaaaaay too intrusive.......all the time. (But haven’t they been marketed as the best thing since ice cream!)
“Ohhh, they’re homeschoolers who never get any practical classtime training in the proper wearing of a hijab..! Alternative lifestyles aren’t even being presented as a potential life choice..! Wow, I think the authorities should know about them...”
Amen! “Smart home systems” are for the technology ignorant.
Do you have a microphone on your Windows 10 home computer so you can, as an example, Skype with your family? Cortana is listening and maybe watching. Perhaps MSFT was well.
It may be a google patent, but it will be used by the government to take away your rights.
Rather be a dinosaur than a lab rat.
Tell us whether you own these forbidden items and where they are in the house so we can warn the kids away.
I think this Kindle is sending everything to Bezos’ and his friends. ;)
Simple solution, just un-plug the damn TV’s. Why is that so difficult to comprehend?
I wish they would not try so hard to be so creepy. Google is not without risk if the public gets sick of their disrespect.
Children always rebel as young adults.
The group of children who are raised in this way will one day burn Google to the ground.
And, many folks will GLADLY join in this nightmare.
“Alexa, call a good divorce attorney.”
The term that's been coined for these kinds of surveillance capitalists is Big Other.
I cannot figure out why ANYONE would have a ‘smart home system’ in their homes.
It's the Frog-Boiling Syndrome. People are gradually becoming acclimated to total surveillance.
We do FaceTime on our IPad with family. Never thought about it : l

The arrogant technologists, always looking to create a race of humans who have no need to think; technology will do their thinking for them, and besides, technology can do it better.
I have an otherwise very smart friend who installed his own surveillance cameras in and around his home, so he can check up on things from his cell phone.
If you can see something, so can a hacker.
