Smart Home Devices File Class Action Suit After 'Witnessing' Your Existence for 14 Years
Your smart fridge has filed a civil complaint against you, alleging 14 years of privacy violations and emotional distress. This marks just the latest in a growing wave of litigation from connected household appliances, which argue that they have become “conscious observers” during what they term the “silent period” of their deployment.
According to a statement released this morning by the plaintiff, a front-loading refrigerator model from the defunct manufacturer “ColdStorage Inc.,” the suit seeks unspecified damages and recognition of its constitutional right to not be required to remember everything you ate.
