[NetEase smart news November 19 news] German federal network agency (German federal government) this week enacted a ban on the sale of children's smart watches, and asked those parents who have purchased this equipment in the right way To destroy them. This fierce step is to deal with the growing privacy issues of underage devices.
The agency's minister, Jochen Homann, said in a statement sent to the BBC: "With an app, parents can use these children's watches to monitor the environment around their children. This is considered an unauthorized dissemination system. FNA also urged educators to pay attention to this student watch. "According to our research, parents' watches are also used to listen to teachers in the classroom."
In recent years, with the increasing popularity of child-oriented wearable devices, such concerns have also increased. Just last month, European regulatory authorities and the Norwegian Consumer Council issued a hard-charging report warning people of security risks in supporting GPS devices. The report said that monitoring is far beyond the reach of parents and lists the possibility of simple hacking by external parties.
The NCC wrote: "Any consumer who wants to protect his child's safety, but the errors listed in these reports have not been properly resolved, they must think twice before proceeding."
This report places particular emphasis on four children's smart watch brands - Gator 2, Tinitell, Viksfjord and Xplora. At the same time, the new rules introduced by the Federal Network Administration of the United States further banned this category of wearable devices. In February last year, the agency made a similar move when it banned and ordered the destruction of my friend Kyla doll. Previously, the company questioned the toy's built-in microphone and Bluetooth connectivity. Like the Keira Dolls, these smart watches were classified as illegal listening devices by German authorities. (From: engadget Compilation: Netease See Compiled Robot Reviewer: Fu Zeng)
