I was in doubt if that fits NETWORK or SECURITY session...
Go figure...

Dodgy Technology.
This is so impractical and pointless it will never get enough adoption to become a security concern

[Bud]

I recall at early Covid times some countries monitored sewage coming from different city districts to detect outbrakes in particular communities.

Not only did they develop sensors for medical tests. They needed to be able to match test results to people, so a new scanner:

They added a small scanner that images a rather camera-shy part of the body. You might call it the polar opposite of facial recognition. In other words, to fully reap the benefits of the smart toilet, users must make their peace with a camera that scans their anus.

“We know it seems weird, but as it turns out, your anal print is unique,” Gambhir said.

In related news, Apple is investigating this technology for use in unlocking phones.

Ehhhm....yeeeess that is ... interesting...

Well of course. Because, why not?
I think you're far from having seen it all. Get prepared for very concerning shit (no pun intended, or maybe?) in the next few years.
Everything that can get "connected" will be. It's almost a guarantee.

Oh and, we'll be lucky if those smart toilets do not use log4j.

Investigating? Pffft. They're a bit behind the times. Office photocopiers have had that feature for years.

OK... mock me...   I do not rant...

In fact..  over night I was wondering how far that thing goes..

Seriously speaking.. it may look funny...
But that is SECURITY (very serious) problem..

Who will be held responsible for such data into this cloud shit?

think fast and project that health and privacy  data scaled to whole society
controlled by CLOUD interests you know who ...

Not funny.

One day they may log you into the cloud by ass recognition...

I do not see how it could be called an aberration, especially if you read and understood the article. We currently and regularly use stool and urine samples to detect many conditions; colon cancer, bacterial and viral infections, status of the individual's biome, blood, a variety of illicit drugs and medicines...a whole bunch of stuff.

This represents the possibility of doing many such tests simultaneously and, most importantly noninvasively and, potentially, at a much lower cost. I am not saying this particular product has been validated for much of anything and is ready for prime-time, but why look at it like a Luddite or as though it were some new-age nonsense?.

is more close to the point...

Add a swarm of drones.. IR capable night/day data collection..
over an entire population centralized into a CLOUD shit private data center...

Add an AI algo. capable of infer proper trends and decide whatever
it fits for the landlords... and BINGO!

You have more like a model of population control than health care...

Scares the shit out ...

Well, umm, ok, everybody finds their own way but if you think the possibility of a "smart toilet" is what we should be worried about....I can't discuss this topic with you.

Sure.. the whole thing is way too complicated...

Posted here as a matter of curiosity and concerns  but..

Certainly in due time such privacy data collection will raise problematic concerns..

We just will not have a terminal discussion..
The whole thing boils down to a very scary social paradigm  shift.
(having personal data collected in large scale..)
