The walls have ears. Now the toaster has them, too.

It’s a given that Google and Amazon are listening to you, even when their devices are “off.” But what about your refrigerator? Or toaster?

Would that be enough to make people mind their language in the kitchen?

And imagine if those devices were watching you, too. It introduces a whole new level of paranoia to toasting a slice of bread.

To address the proliferation of eyes and ears in new devices, Massachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton has introduced bipartisan legislation to give people a clearer view of their household technology.

Along with Republican Reps. John Curtis of Utah and Gus Bilirakis of Florida, Moulton said the bill “requires the creation of reasonable disclosure guidelines.”

Introduced today, July 13, the bill, “Informing Consumers about Smart Devices Act,” will apply to “products that have audio or visual recording components that are not clearly obvious to a reasonable person, such as a kitchen or another household appliance.”

The legislation is in response to reports about household devices listening to individuals’ conversations without their knowledge, Moulton said.

“This legislation will allow regulatory flexibility without hamstringing the technological pioneers who are developing smart technologies, while ensuring consumers are aware of the capabilities of items they are putting in their homes,” Curtis said.

“We should be allowed to make informed decisions about the electronic eavesdroppers we invite into our homes. But we can’t do it if big tech hides microphones and cameras that are always listening in refrigerators, toasters, and other household gadgets,” Moulton added.

If passed, the bill would require the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to work alongside industry to establish guidelines to properly disclose the bugging potential of their products.

Moulton said the bill builds on the next-generation privacy laws he pushed last year. Those include the Automatic Listening and Exploitation, or ALEXA, Act he filed last year.
