The Ethics of the Internet of Things
summary
Concrete failures and stakes: unsecured devices fuelling the Mirai botnet DDoS, an expired TLS cert flooding a home, a Microsoft band reading raw chicken at 120 bpm while FitBit data helps convict or exonerate people, a smart water meter and Amazon Echo subpoenaed in a murder probe, and a minor collision where a Google self-driving car accepts liability. Left-pad exposes the real tradeoff between openness and safety. Notes on liability, sensor noise, and mitigation steps are the useful takeaways.
