When someone says this irl, I like to ask them if I can go look through their underwear drawer.
Oddly enough the people with nothing to hide usually say no.

Absolutely can’t stand the “I have nothing to hide” response. Like y’all aren’t parroting Nazi propaganda.

Underwear drawer is nothing compared to their actual phone.
If they have nothing to hide, then you should be able to install a mirroring app so that you can log onto their phone at anytime for any reason.
I don’t get any takers on this either.
This reminds me of when a neighbor reported to the landlord that we were smoking weed indoors. She claimed she could smell it in her own apartment. We weren’t (and weed is legal where I live, so it’s a moot point.) When the landlord came around, we let him come in and smell our apartment. He found nothing.
So we suggested that the landlord go smell HER (the narc’s) apartment to confirm how bad the smell is. Guess what? She refused to let him in.
If she ever attempts to complain again, the procedure now will be to investigate her apartment first. If she refuses, we won’t be bothered. So yeah.

I’m not parroting anything. I just also realize the vast scale of the data imo makes most of it worthless outside of demographics ad targeting lol

Not when each point is matched to a unique machine (i.e. user) ID. It’s not anonymous, it’s “anonymized” which is just snake oil (replace your actual name with a unique ID).
Also, I find ad targeting bad enough all by itself.

“nothing to hide”
just wait until your smart fridge notifies your insurance company (who knows you’re diabetic) that you just bought a gallon of NOT sugar free ice cream. think they’ll give a rat’s ass that it’s not for you? i bet they’ll be more than happy to raise your premiums either way. or worse

I am in the minority but if i ever had a fridge that’s costing me money like that it would never be a brand I would ever associate with ever again and the current one is being tossed ASAP. I’m also not connecting fridges to my wifi either because why should it be?

In the future, all Fridges will do it. You’ll have 10 brands to choose from but they’ll all collect your personal data and send it out via built in cell service.

the data they collect from scanning the upcs in your fridge alone would be worth millions-- how fast you consume one thing vs another, how far away you live from the store (derived from data
sharedtaken from your grocery “rewards/membership” card), what kinds of meals you’re making with the ingredients, and the size of those meals— all information they will exploit to make even more money from youriot@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Even if all fridges in the future don’t do it, or you somehow manage to disable it it, I’m sure that’ll make your premium go up too. It’ll be advertised as a cost-saving measure - “Give us access to this data, and you premium will be less! (Until we see you buying something outside of your plan, in which case, you’ll have to pay more)”

ring doorbells can connect to the Internet through each other. Imagine a fridge made by amazon that uses the same network. Now imagine amazon giving discounts to apartments making it more attractive to cheapskate landlords. I can imagine insurance companies paying amazon surprisingly small sums to make this happen.
