Sadly, while this is a bit more pernicious because it is aimed at children, the current 'wave' of smart appliances in the home can all be made to spy on a person and a family - from your home security center to your refrigerator and toaster, many of the new versions of which have embedded electronics that can be used to monitor voice in the home and some even video. So, it is not much different than it was in the novel 1984 where one could not turn off the screen with Big Brother - a screen that both spoke and heard, showed propaganda and saw all that one did. That they now want to even spy on children is a new low. I suppose they also want to spy on our pets and likely have already.
