Gordie's Midday Gossip - Find out what your kids think...

A company called magical toys is selling a stuffed animal called Dino, which will SNITCH on all the things your kid tells it in confidence. It has a built-in A.I. chatbot that records your kid’s every word. The company says your kids will love Dino because it can have conversations with them. For just $249, your child can share their secrets with this knockoff Barney while you eavesdrop through an app. The company cheerfully advertises that parents can monitor all conversations through their handy app. They’ve included testimonials from parents thrilled about their digital peeping: “I love how Dino creates stories with Sophie,” says one parent, presumably while scrolling through the transcript of Sophie’s every private thought and fantasy. Their website conveniently omits any details about data storage, privacy policies, or what happens to all those recorded conversations.
