Privacy Activists Demand WiFi Mic’d Barbie Terminated

Mattel recently release Hello Barbie, a doll that sends recordings of children’s voices across the internet for voice-recognition analysis. The doll picks up the child’s voice over the internet to the doll’s servers which then sends a command back with a reply stored in the toy. Privacy groups are concerned that the doll will collect a child’s private thoughts and have them analyzed, along with data collection being given to third parties.
