Still not sure how I feel about anything Facebook with a camera being in my living room. interesting to see how the whole portal range plays out for Facebook

Interesting to have this launch the same day as Edward Snowden's book. I wonder what he has to say about this and the potential surveillance implications. 🤔 I can see how it would be very cool for chatting with family, particularly those over seas or long distance with children. I'm not brave enough to have this in my home just yet. - "Facebook audits a subset of anonymized recordings and has human reviewers listen to them to improve the service" - Although The Verge reports you can opt out of this, it's quite intrusive to know it's a possibility.

Facebook making cameras meaning they will sell all your videos of what you do when you're at home 😁just what I was wanted tbh

Facebook’s device seem really cool now vs the 1st gen portals, especially the TV product and the picture frame devices. I just don’t trust Facebook enough anymore to let them put a camera in my house. Great prices for interesting products though. Surprisingly still on the fence for this one

In general, this is a wholesome product that would really improve the video calling experience between distant family, friends, etc. But because the Facebook brand is attached, I don't trust it. Would love to see an open source alternative

Is there a downvote button on this website yet? You could enable it only for Facebook products……
