A woman is suing her dildo manufacturer for knowing too much about when and how she uses it.

A few weeks ago, two researchers told the Defcon hacking convention audience that We-Vibe “smart” sex toys send a lot of data about their users back to the company that makes them. According to Courthouse News, one We-Viber took this news hard. A woman known only as “N.P.” filed a class action civil suit in a federal court in Illinois against Standard Innovation, which makes the We Vibe line of sex toys and corresponding app.

The smartphone app lets users “customize” their We-Vibe experience, unlock app-only “bonus” vibration modes such as the “cha-cha-cha” and the “crest,” and “create unlimited custom playlists,” according to the product’s website. In the suit, N.P. says she bought a We-Vibe in May and used it “several times” until she realized that it was sending data about her usage practices back to Standard Innovation’s servers, including when she used it, which vibration settings she used, and her email address.

How could any company think that is a good idea?

Is there no prompt for the consumer to select yes or no to share their info with the company? I mean she had to set the thing up on her wifi and everything.

She wasn't ashamed of buying it, so at what point did she figure she was using it too much?

When she went for the third time that one day after binge-ing on 50 Shades of Gray?

This version is unique because it allows you to control it via app from anywhere in the world.

IE I am on a business trip, want to mess with my wife before she cheats on me multiple times that day, she uses it while I control it.

Seems like a privacy issue more than being embarrassed/ashamed. Guess you wouldn't mind everyone seeing your search history or putting cameras in your home, right?

Who would buy one of those and then register with their real name?

She should be proud, she probably set the high score.
