SnopesAPR 2022
Consumers should be skeptical of this acquisition as it will only expand Amazon's control over people's private details, such as the layout of users' homes and even their visitors. The tech company is purchasing its way to dominance. Buyers beware.
While privacy concerns are understandable, the acquisition won't move forward without regulatory scrutiny, which will give consumers peace of mind. If approved, the deal would mark a turning point in the home robotics industry and reinvent how people clean. This is an exciting announcement.
