How about the POV that if I buy the device, I decide what the device does? This is a fundamental property right. You may argue that the data created isn't "mine", but I would argue that it is absolutely my data if it is created by a device I own. The fact that someone else manufactured the device doesn't give them some sort of retained ownership once they sell it to me.


Yep, that is def an option for you to believe, I just am not agreeing with that POV :)

I do object to thinking it has precedent. This is a new situation that is going to get bigger with iot.

This issue is precisely why I won't be buying any IoT device that requires the use of a third-party server, which currently means any commercial IoT devices.
