American politicians may not be the only government figures concerned about Amazon's proposed acquisition of iRobot. The Financial Times sources claim European Union regulators are grilling Amazon ahead of a "likely" official investigation. The European Commission has sent questions about potential privacy issues, including Roomba robot vacuums' ability to capture imagery. Officials are worried Amazon might combine the pictures with Alexa data to gain a "competitive advantage," according to one source. MIT Technology Review recently discovered that photos taken by development versions of Roomba J7 vacuums had reached private Discord and Facebook groups. At the time, iRobot said the technology never made it to production models, was clearly labeled for testers and included a warning to remove "sensitive" items from the robovac's view.
