My MAGA congressman claims Roomba vacuum cleaners are gathering valuable personal information, while they sweep home hallways and living room carpets, then sending it to the Chinese Communist Party, endangering national security. Presumably, all the information thieves are storing their ill gotten booty in massive data farms, which now encircle the metropolitan area around Des Moines, Iowa. As a resident, I’ve always wondered why these massive facilities were allowed to be built over the world’s finest agricultural soil. Also, draining huge amounts of water from already distressed aquifers. The reason? There must be some very important uses for all this personal information because conglomerates are willing to pay top dollar for it! What a crazy world this has become.

How many other companies are doing the same damn thing that we'll never know about? Especially with the govt gutting consumer protections & big tech in bed with 💩ump.

A lot of companies sell information that’s anonymous. This is very different in that GM consumers discovered specific incidents of bills going up based on personal data sold. They obtained documents that revealed tracking of their own lives.

Thanks for clarifying.

I touched base with different lawyers who said that people who requested their reports (from the companies named in the story that purchased the data) said it was chilling to read so much detail about your own life.
