Man buys internet controlled vacuum advertised to map your home, surprised it is mapping his home

Yup, those maps of our houses are going to come in handy for the fascists when they move on from the poorest of us
As the article describes, it wasn't so much that the vacuum sent the map because it didn't have the local processing to work without it. The problem was that their servers sent a remote kill packet to his vacuum whenever he blocked it from sharing his data. So his vacuum would completely stop until he sent it back for service.
