Bose Accused of Spying on Customers Through Headphones

                                                            

Can they hear you now? A new class-action lawsuit filed against Bose claims the audio giant has been using its app and wireless headphones to collect and sell information about customer listening habits, breaking several federal and state laws. The lawsuit, potentially worth $5 million, is seeking an injunction against data collection, asserting that one’s listening habits are private. Already this year manufacturers of TVs and sex toys have had to pay millions in lawsuits over unlawful collection of customer data, a trend privacy activists hope to continue.
