Well, this is interesting. Apparently Amazon and Google came out swinging against this Illinois bill saying a company is not allowed to remotely turn on a microphone without the owner’s permission. https://t.co/4xs7rsU72A

Illinois consumers would have been able to sue big companies for recording them without consent, based on how the Illinois Keep Internet Devices Safe Act was drafted.

From the United States: Illinois bill banning eavesdropping by #IoT devices defanged by tech lobby; Lobbyists: Bill would punish even if failure to disclose was "accidental." @ArsTechnica https://t.co/let7kGO0Gt

I am generally a fan of Amazon.

Illinois State Senate passed the Keep Internet Devices Safe Act that would ban manufacturers of devices that can record audio from doing so remotely without disclosing it. The trade associations that represent Google, Amazon, and Microsoft won out.
