  • Once installed, these extensions trigger the installation of further malware without user permission or knowledge, which then disables existing user extensions focused on cashback activities and cybersecurity .

Internet of Things: tech firms have become our digital landlords – but people are starting to fight back

Many people worry about the privacy risks of using these devices because they may allow hackers to listen to our conversations at home.

Key Points: 
  • Many people worry about the privacy risks of using these devices because they may allow hackers to listen to our conversations at home.
  • But the contracts for using them are so long we don’t understand which other rights we might be signing away.
  • Of the 246 contracts, I focused on those that are most likely to be relevant to smart speaker Echo’s users.
  • I found they are on average as long as Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (317 pages).

Does this matter?

  • T&Cs are not just about our privacy – and our privacy is not just about our data.
  • By surrounding ourselves with devices with sensors (also known as the “Internet of Things)”, we’ve effectively invited digital landlords into our homes.
  • Another example is how tractor manufacturer John Deere relied on its end-user licence agreement (Eula) to stop farmers repairing their smart tractors.
  • Cochrane’s girlfriend’s son had been “playing” with his computer without his permission while he was away from the house.

Regulation won’t work

  • They are both in progress, so we don’t know yet when they will be adopted.
  • Big tech and other large stakeholders have a huge influence because they have money and influence to fight laws they don’t like.
  • This was the case with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which came into effect at the end of a nine-year process.

What does work

  • Let’s circle back to John Deere and the way the company tried to deprive tractor owners of their right to fix their machines.
  • There is much to learn from those farmers who joined together with hackers to resist “smart power abuses”.
  • But only after attendees at a hacker’s convention figured out how to “jailbreak” the code that was locking farmers and engineers out.
