Mozilla raises concerns over privacy and security of romantic chatbots
A recent study by Mozilla has shed light on the privacy risks associated with romantic chatbots. The research found that these chatbots collect extensive amounts of personal data from users but do not adequately disclose how this data is used. Additionally, many of these chatbots have weak password protections, leaving users vulnerable to hacking and potential data breaches. With their lack of transparency, the ownership and privacy practices of these chatbot companies remain a major concern. As the use of chatbots continues to grow, it is crucial that companies prioritize the privacy and security of their users.
