First of all, it’s the utilities that have access to your smart meter data.
This literally saves the meter runner a trip by your house.
That’s how most old meters worked. They sent out a local chirp that the utility picks up as they drive by.
Smart meters are just better technology and your energy consumption is not personal information. It’s measuring your consumption of a good that someone else is producing and has agreed to sell to you.
This thread literally hurts my brain… yall are a bunch of fckin clowns.
Nobody is arguing that the energy company should not know how much electricity you buy. This is merely a small part of a complete picture the police could create of your day to day activities measurable through smart devices. Many of those things are services for which you have paid. It is private information; the government harvesting that data to prosecute people violates the U.S. Constitution.
The reason this should be important to the people who frequent this forum is that criminal investigation is being weaponized. The targets include people who speak out against approved narratives.
Police don’t even give a fuck about weed…
the fuck is wrong with you morons?
You want me banned because I don’t mindlessly eat your bullshit up like they do.
And I have no respect for stupid people.
Anyway, the police wanting to see what you do in your home by way of smart devices is unconstitutional.
