Once I decompiled the contol app for a cheap chinese vibrator. The vibrator uses Bluetooth LE to talk to the phone app, the phone app connects to chinese servers and offers remote control and chat functionality.

Spiciest thing I found in the App was a list of words (mostly Chinese) you are forbidden to use, stuff like references to Tianmen. Yes the sex toy app had a cleartext list of political and kinky forbidden words it will locally filter out.

    The buttplug connecting to wifi is one of the few things that makes sense. In this case: so your totally not imagined GF in Canada can peg you remotely.

    A more realistic version of the story; I was going to say less funny, but that's not true, it's even funnier.

    Well, everyone has fun as they want and I understand that the remote control in these cases can be a factor that makes more sense than, say, controlling the temperature of the refrigerator remotely. Of course, not understanding the importance of end-to-end encryption in this case is very stupid
