Once celebrated for revolutionising home cooking, smart air fryers are now under fire for something far more unsettling- surveillance.
A UK data privacy watchdog warns that many internet-connected appliances, including air fryers, may be collecting and sharing user data.
Investigations reveal these devices are often “stuffed with trackers,” recording voices, locations, and personal habits- sometimes sending the data to servers abroad, including China.
As the global smart device market soars, this raises serious questions about privacy, regulation, and the true cost of convenience in our increasingly connected homes.
