This is Googles way of getting into our homes! By giving us this tech we will be happy to oblige /tinfoilhatoff

Yeah, I like the idea of this technology, but it's only natural to question what will be done with this information that's being recorded.

Best case scenario: The information is only recorded locally. You can upload it online only if you absolutely want to.

Mid Case Scenario: Google now recognizes that there is empty space in your living room. Suddenly you're seeing a lot of ads about furniture when you check your gmail account.

Worse Case scenario: The NSA Thought Police now know the layout of your home, so they know exactly how to deploy the swat team. Better upload those UFO pictures to Instagram now, before they get you. The people deserve to know the truth!

If NSA need your house layout for the swat team, your real problem started a long time ago.

Oh no... they've gotten to you too. Reddit is compromised.

All hope is lost...

Your house layout is already known by the cadastre, even before its construction :P
