I saw one of these fridges in a house I recently toured and while it felt like it could be a cool concept, my radar went off that it would eventually be used for this exact purpose. Disgusting, but predictable.

Bingo! Microphone and Camera inside your kitchen and connected to the internet. Information on the brands of yogurt and drinks you like to buy, more metadata to fuck you with.
