Here’s the backstory

Because it is difficult for consumers to know what is electronically spying on them, the Mozilla Foundation created the *privacy not included website. The aim is to guide consumers in shopping for safe and secure connected devices. The Foundation releases an annual list highlighting products that could be the most harmful to your privacy. For the rest of the year, the website spans several categories that visitors can browse through. Clicking on a product, you’ll see the dangers involved, answers to common questions and a community rank. Here are some of the biggest offenders and how they put your privacy at risk.
