Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

People seem to think there are hackers driving around using smart home tech to hack into private home networks... that's just not a thing.

And your internal network should not be exposed to the Internet, so there's no reason somebody should be able to hack into it from the outside because of a smart device phone home.

The privacy concerns are valid, but if you're concerned, you need to stop using the Internet. Because Facebook and Google ads already know everything about you.
