Patents recently issued to Google provide a window into their development activities. While it’s no guarantee of a future product, it is a sure indication of what’s of interest to them. What we’ve given up in privacy to Google, Facebook, and others thus far is minuscule compared to what is coming if these companies get their way.
These patents tell us that Google is developing smart-home products that are capable of eavesdropping on us throughout our home in order to learn more about us and better target us with advertising. It goes much further than the current Google Home speaker that’s promoted to answer our questions and provide useful information, and the Google-owned Nest thermostat that measures environmental conditions in our home. What the patents describe are sensors and cameras mounted in every room to follow us and analyze what we’re doing throughout our home.
They describe how the cameras can even recognize the image of a movie star’s image on a resident’s t-shirt, connect it to the person’s browsing history, and send the person an ad for a new movie the star is in.
One patent, No. 10,114,351, reads, “According to embodiments of this disclosure, a smart-home environment may be provided with smart-device environment policies that use smart-devices to monitor activities within a smart-device environment, report on these activities, and/or provide smart-device control based upon these activities.”
So clearly they want to monitor us and report back what we are doing.

DJT, this is your chance to be Teddy Roosevelt 2.
This has your name alllll over it.
And people called Orwell a wingnut...
Memo to GOOGLE: Get out of my head and stay out. Let me figure it out by myself as an educated citizen.
It’s past time that they are broken up and laws passed against this type of privacy invasion.
I think that Google, like the Internet itself was, is a creation, and tool of the deep state.
While publicly operating “altruistically” everything it does, can do, and is doing, is and will serve the deepest most intrusive state ever known to humans.
The idea that people would voluntarily put a device in their home that can spy on them is just nuts. What are people thinking? Friends tell me, “I don’t care, nothing interesting ever goes on in my home.” People are crazy.
Personally, I do everything I can to avoid Google, Facebook, Amazon, the ‘cloud’ and ALL social media. You’re just asking for trouble if you get involved.
Sorry, FR is the closest thing I have to a social media account.
I trust nobody.
The most innocent things can come back to bite you.
I don’t even have a linkedin account. After I found out the Chinese and Iranian governments scours LinkedIn and other social media, I decided to never use these services.
You don’t need a google account for them to spy on you.
Smart home?
LOL!
Why do people have these darn things? Every ad I’ve seen have people doing utterly useless crap with them.
“Hey, Google. I need a recipe for making apple pie!”
How the hell did you buy all of the ingredients and NOT know how to make one?
They can do the same thing with the microphone on your laptop.
Or a “smart” TV.
Well, to be fair, maybe they needed to know what ingredients to buy.
That being said, I don’t trust google. Switched my browsers over to duck duck go.
Unfortunately, I do have a nest thermostat. Bought it befor google got involved.
Honeywell, makes some good ones with the same capabilities.
Google should tell them apple pies aren’t on their diet. Apple pie is loaded with sugar and carbs and they’re already too fat. Maybe Google will automatically lock them inside their homes and block their credit cards to stop them shopping. Hey, you know that’s the ultimate goal.
It’s what statists do.
Brilliant. When single mamas want to spend the night partying, they can leave the kids with Google in charge of turning on the microwave for their dinners and reminding them when to take a bath, do their homework and get to bed.
No, there’s still a lot of pre-conditioning and progarmming that must be done.
The thought that soon you will be expected to take oral commands and obey them without question and respond when prompted to do so in the “pursuit” of gathering information and the betterment of society may seem a bit far-fetched to most, but consider what many human beings already are,, robots.. performing without question, programmed to oblige their hidden codemasters.
Ain’t nothing Brave about the Brave New World except trying to avoid it.. at your own risk.
Why do we not dread to disobey Him or disappoint Him when He loves us and desires that we benefit from doing His Will?
"Blessed is everyone that feareth the LORD, that walketh in His ways" (Psalm 128:1).
Repent and be saved!
Google simply wants to horn in on His omniscience and omnipotence, not for our benefit, but for its manipulators.
I don’t think it was created for deep state use, but I don’t doubt that they recognized it’s potential quickly and took quick steps to establish control over it in order to leverage it against us.
