Bose is ‘spying on you through headphones’
mainAccording to the complaint, filed late Tuesday in the U.S. District Court in Chicago, the headphone company’s Bose Connect app does more than just pair wireless headphones with the music in their devices — it also connects the user’s entire listening history with third-party data mining companies….

a new twist of perverted marketing ?…. if so they (BOSE) are sick for sure 😉
Tip of the iceberg. We haven’t seen anything yet about invasion of privacy and selling/mining of our data without consent. The “internet of things” is nothing but a massive spying scheme and people, naively, are falling for it.
I’m not scared cause I just don’t care 🙂 GFT (good for them or get f**k themselves out – as you like 😉
so you are an exhibitionist with no concept of personal privacy – that is not what the norm should be
everyone judges from one’s own experience and according to one’s life habits 😉 wish you every happiness 😉
Awesome! I bought a pair of these headphones about a month ago and downloaded the app. Hopefully I’ll get a significant refund on my purchase once the lawsuit finishes.
There was exactly the same news recently about a high-end personal vibrator transmitting details of its use back to the company. There is a court action there too. Is there nowhere safe?
Böse, not Bose.
Bose got caught. How many other products out there are spying on the public that we don’t know about. Make sure you send all your info out onto the ‘cloud’ for safe keeping.
