Hi everybody.

Have you seen the next Barbie Doll called 'hello Barbie. It has a microphone and wi-fi conection, when the kids talk to 'her' the talking is sent to a server where the answers of Barbie are written and improved.

Of course there'll be an app for the parents to later listen the chats of their kids with Barbie.

I think is not necessary to point out the implications of the subject

But how worse is that than the Internet panopticon generally? It does add audio, and (soon, I'm sure) video. But just about everything will end up online sooner or later. Anyway, filtering and anonymizing would be trivial, using voice recognition apps and your anonymity network(s) of choice.
