    Because having the computers spy on them would be illegal. This is willingly giving your data to them rather then something spying. The servers store the data and they would be used to catch the people. But if you did it from your phone then it would be very hard to do because of legality. If you data is flagged for suspicious activity then you can be investigated. What has a person to fear if they haven’t committed a wrongdoing

      Bro, how do you think the things would spy on people, if they don’t have computers in them? You’re just splitting hairs because you think it’s moral to spy on everyone through a sextoy with an internet connection instead of any other computing device with an internet connection, just because it isn’t illegal yet.

      The whole “those with nothing to fear have nothing to hide” bullshit falls apart when used on you. You may not have anything to hide, but I doubt you’d be happy to let law enforcement watch you masturbate, or sleep, or shower, because you don’t have anything to hide. Invite them in to record you talking to friends and family to ensure you aren’t communicating about crimes. Sure, you might not have anything to “hide” right now, but there’s plenty of things you don’t want to share, and you never know what the government is going to be like in the future. Imagine an extremist party gets to power and you hold freely recorded views antithetical to their beliefs? Or you or a family member jokes about speeding or shoplifting and now you’re flagged as under suspicion for criminal activity, a preferential suspect for any unsolved crimes geographical near them because breaking the law once makes you more likely to break it again.

      Silently watching everything people do isn’t some zero cost activity. It’s people watching you, your kids, your friends, your family, at all moments of their lives and if you don’t think it’ll be abused then you’re out of your mind.

        Because the bot would be the same way as a real girlfriend. Good people would turn in a pedo or drug trafficker and so a good bit ought to do the same. This isn’t spying on someone but emulating that. None of this is about spying on people all the time but just what they tell their girlfriend
