• 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.
