I don't understand people!
Too lazy to vacuum your house so now you'll have #Amazon collecting even more of your data! Maybe they'll start putting cameras on these things!

In 2017, iRobot CEO Colin Angle told Reuters that his company was considering selling data collected from customers’ homes by Roombas to companies including Amazon and Google, helping the corporations discern what and how to market products.

“Maps of the inside of your home can tell a lot about a person,” Electronic Frontier Foundation attorney Jamie Williams told BuzzFeed at the time. “For instance, how you lay out your living room could disclose whether watching TV is a central part of your life.
