Patents recently issued to Google provide a window into their development activities. While it’s no guarantee of a future product, it is a sure indication of what’s of interest to them. What we’ve given up in privacy to Google, Facebook, and others thus far is minuscule compared to what is coming if these companies get their way.
These patents tell us that Google is developing smart-home products that are capable of eavesdropping on us throughout our home in order to learn more about us and better target us with advertising. It goes much further than the current Google Home speaker that’s promoted to answer our questions and provide useful information, and the Google-owned Nest thermostat that measures environmental conditions in our home. What the patents describe are sensors and cameras mounted in every room to follow us and analyze what we’re doing throughout our home.
They describe how the cameras can even recognize the image of a movie star’s image on a resident’s t-shirt, connect it to the person’s browsing history, and send the person an ad for a new movie the star is in.
One patent, No. 10,114,351, reads, “According to embodiments of this disclosure, a smart-home environment may be provided with smart-device environment policies that use smart-devices to monitor activities within a smart-device environment, report on these activities, and/or provide smart-device control based upon these activities.”
So clearly they want to monitor us and report back what we are doing.

Wouldn’t doubt it.
True story. I visited Home Depot and overheard a discussion about Google home security between a customer and the sales helper.
After hearing the sales pitch I interjected
that Google is Evil since they spy on private home activity. The salesman blushed red and was taken aback. Nobody is supposed to speak truth in public life.
Next time you see a conversation at Lowes or Home Depot, selling Home Security SPYWARE, well but in. Customers are grateful to learn their children are spied on.
Are your naked children’s photos going to show up on a website?
Are private conversations going to be on the web?
Court records show Big Tech saves all recordings, forever.
That makes you legally liable.
Would you invite a total stranger into your home?
So, have fun on your home improvement weekend. Customers are grateful that you woke them up, that Big Tech, Google, Amazon home security IS NOT SECURE!
but butt
We can’t escape the Googstapo.
The new ‘Big Brother’ is watching you....
Idiocy to anyone that buys Google home products.
You will be assimilated.
Resistance is futile.
Only if you let the damn gadget in the house.
