Cayla is a "dangerous fake spy"

[BeBMan]

I wanted to start a "Trump is dangerous fake pres" first, but I don't want to anger our resident Trump-Police

So let's have a go at spy puppets instead:

An official watchdog in Germany has told parents to destroy a talking doll called Cayla because its smart technology can reveal personal data.

The warning was issued by the Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur), which oversees telecommunications.

Researchers say hackers can use an unsecure bluetooth device embedded in the toy to listen and talk to the child playing with it.

But the UK Toy Retailers Association said Cayla "offers no special risk".

In a statement sent to the BBC, the TRA also said "there is no reason for alarm".

The Vivid Toy group, which distributes My Friend Cayla, has previously said that examples of hacking were isolated and carried out by specialists. However, it said the company would take the information on board as it was able to upgrade the app used with the doll.

But experts have warned that the problem has not been fixed.

The Cayla doll can respond to a user's question by accessing the internet. For example, if a child asks the doll "what is a little horse called?" the doll can reply "it's called a foal".

As I see it, it's either a HappyPutin doll or in danger to be hijacked by muslim feminists

[Egbert]

This is a very serious matter.

Allow to explain.

It is not the KGB or Islamic State that is the real threat.

What the Feminist government of Sweden hacks into these dolls and listens in. What if they discover dolls are stereotyped as "girls stuff" ion Germany.

This could have ramification for Swedish Feminist Foreign Policy.

What if those Swedes declare feminist war, perhaps even drop feminist bombs on then there Germans?

[BeBMan]

Sweden has always been evil. Remember the Swedish Chef in the Muppet Show? He was put there by feminists who didn't like to be in the kitchen all day

[Egbert]

They seem to be getting more evil by the day.

What next?

[BeBMan]

I will get really - r e a l l y - concerned when they start allcaps twittering

[Egbert]

Sweden has already infiltrated the Poly OT.

I can see they have converted Kidicious to the feminist cause with his spirited defense of Ivanka.

[Egbert]

What if Swedish feminists have brainwashed REDACTED, to impose censorship on the OT?

Should we even be discussing this if REDACTED has recruited by the Swedish Thought Police?

[BeBMan]

Kid shouldn't have bought that Cayla doll

[Egbert]

True. But how did they recruit Kidicious?

[Aeson]

[Egbert]

What if Swedish feminists have brainwashed REDACTED, to impose censorship on the OT?

Should we even be discussing this if REDACTED has recruited by the Swedish Thought Police?

I see that the Thought Police have censored my poast.

The feminist government of Sweden has corrupted Big Brother.

[Egbert]

Good grief.

That is a male chef.

This is sexual stereotyping of chefs as male.

There must be laws against Swedish muppets engaging in "gender stereotyping".

[Kidlicious]

More likely the Swedish government will hack into the dolls and turn the little girls against their fathers, maybe even tell the girlsvto kill them for not supporting refugees (who are all feminist).

[Egbert]

Then we will have man-hating dolls

[giblets]

feminists want to kill all men
