Google forgot to notify customers it put microphones in Nest security systems

What a world.

People are nuts to put any of these devices in their house… What’s Alexa… A spying weather person

Oh, sorry we've listened to your fight with your wife, your make up sex and burping while thinking you were alone in the room

This is why we can’t have nice things.

I’m out of wapo articles... anyone care to share a synopsis?

No they didn't.

Isn't Nest so you can command it to turn the heat/ac on or off?

BS! Google

Ya, I'm sure it forgot.

What happened to “Don’t be evil” assholes? .google

😮

Sure it did

GreenMonsterah 'Google forgot' Would a 'wipe out two years of earnings fine' help them remember? How about send an insane punitive amount check for $XXXXX to every Next buyer. Would that help them not 'forget'.

Nope 👎 A 3 Pinocchio lie. Anyone in product devel knows there are 10,000 boring meetings to discuss every iota of a rollout. Then the 10,000 marketing meetings & var. levels of proofing & editing.

They forgot?

How does that happen with those iq’s

Someone forgot to tell me Alexa has a microphone too, or the dozens of apps and social media platforms that eavesdrop to target what they think are relevant ads. theskyisfalling

FORGOT ? how about DID NOT

“Cries everyone, everywhere walking around and responding on a cell phone with a camera and a mic.”

MelissaJPeltier Forgot. 😂😂😂😂😬😂😂😂😂

I own several for my biz. I run some w a mic but turn off the ones the public has access to. It’s in the manual and quite obvious when looking at the software. Is this really a thing? You can easily check a box and turn it off.

Hey Google - wanna know why I won't buy products like yours It's the stuff you 'forget' to tell us!

Uhhhh

Forgot? Not likely. Bank robber: I forgot where I got the money.

So you're saying Google has a memory?

Lol nothing Google does is unintentional. Google hope you are enjoying listening to conversations and collecting massive data at the expense of destroying personal privacy. Congrats. Anything for money and power. American greed. Sneaky.

Google 'forgot.'

Hey Google! Don't be evil!

Don't you hate it when that happens?

Sure, Jan

Yeah, my electricity provider tried to push Nest on me, and didn't mention what I knew about their real purpose: the ability to override my control over my own home. Nest, Alexa, and similar technologies will have no place in my home, until they're made secure, under MY control.

Jebus Effing Rice! Not fluffing cool, Google. :/

‘Don’t be evil’!!!

That is horrendous!

Yes people...big brother is always watching/listening. Why do we fake knowledge and outrage.

Illegal under Canadian Constitution

Sounds like they 'conveniently' forgot. They quickly becoming 'Big Brother' warching the masses to later on control the people. Another part of the socialist agenda.

I am creeped out enough that my phone listens to me. I can’t imagine putting a smart speaker or a Google security system in my home. These days, Big Brother is just as likely to come in his Big Tech guise as anything from the government.

The microphones are used to listen for pings from other devices. And if anyone thinks they have any privacy at all they are very mistaken.

Gosh what an astounding coincidence.

Forgot?

“Forgot”

Oops

One would think that Google would be sensitive to this kind of thing .....

Then why wasn't it listed in the tech specs, Google? That's an awfully curious feature to omit from the list....

2017Guitarman Yeah, sure!

'Just another 'minor' oversight'! Although I am generally against Federal involvement in private enterprise, IT IS TIME FOR REGULATION OF 'SOCIAL MEDIA & INTERNET' COMPANIES' an their 'access/use' of personal data, especially when the acquisition is BY DECEPTIVE MEANS! FCC

Wow

poor google

OOPS! We were doing a favor for Mr. Trump, Mr. Putin and Mr. Jungun (pronounced 'youngun')

How does a company forget 🤦‍♂️

Oops

woops...

Google: It Was An 'Error' Not Telling Anyone About Secret Nest MicrophoneNest Secure owners were recently shocked to learn that their home security system would soon support Google Assistant voice commands. Why? Google never disclosed that it had a microphone. “It was just an error” as they spy and catalogue ever moment of your lives. 3rd-world grade corrupt: Google. Bad move on Google's part, to be sure, but... if you're installing an electronic device/system in your home, wouldn't you just assume at this point that it's basically bugged and spying on you?
