That "smart lighting" from Philips is about to spy on you in new ways you can't control -- naturally the company is claiming it's to protect you. This is Trump-level lying.

@dangillmor @fj It’s a whole life of “Ok, so I can trust at least this company. They make money selling expensive quality lightbulb and oh fuck, even them.”
It really annoyed me because of all the toys in my smart home this was one of the most reliable (just behind the ones that were handmade with ESPHOME).
