WHY THIS IS WORTH DOING

Convenience should not require surrendering control over your private life.

THE VISION

Ban black box home droid surveillance systems

The future of home technology should make people more capable, not make the inside of their homes unknowable to them and legible to everyone else.

This quest turns that principle into something specific: document what a home droid collects, where the data goes, what the owner can control, and which missing protections a proposed ban would address.

MAKE THE NEXT CHAPTER REAL

Start with one useful thing.

Bring security research, product-design experience, or a clear explanation of one real data flow.

  1. 01

    Try a first step.

    Document a home-droid data flow and the missing owner disclosures or controls that a ban would need to address.

  2. 02

    Build toward something concrete.

    Publish a specific ban proposal that defines black-box surveillance, its scope, and how compliance would be verified.

  3. 03

    Show what changed.

    Share the work and its sources. Show the gaps as well as the progress. Give the next person a way to help.

What would count as progress?

The adopted rule, jurisdiction, effective date, and independently checked compliance. Software audits alone do not complete this flag.

A ban on black-box home droid surveillance systems, adopted and enforced.

Goals are not reported results. A linked channel is not proof of an achieved outcome. This quest is an invitation to build, not a claim that a complete team or solution already exists.

YOUR PART DOES NOT HAVE TO BE EVERYTHING

Help this quest find
its next person.

Follow the story. Bring a skill. Raise your own flag for this mission. Every honest contribution gives the next chapter somewhere to begin.
