Every claim below was made in this piece, quoted word for word and numbered in the order the piece makes them, so you can read it there rather than take our word for it.

Our reading
Hardware that connects to the internet should tell its users who its data provider is and what the privacy policy says.

Their wordsAt the very least they should tell users who their weather provider is and what their privacy says.
