Growing Concerns Over Smart Toys Spying on Children Revealed in New Report

A report from the U.S. PIRG Education Fund highlights concerns over smart toys spying on children. The report warns that smart toys, which incorporate technologies like cameras, microphones, and sensors, can collect personal data and transmit it to external servers, posing a risk of data breaches. The organization advises parents to consider the features and privacy policies of smart toys before purchasing them for the upcoming holidays. With Americans expected to spend $7.8 billion on toys during the holiday season, privacy concerns surrounding smart toys are becoming increasingly important.
