Video: Bye-bye trackers? Everything becomes a smartwatch

Germany’s federal network agency, the Bundesnetzagentur, has announced a ban on the sale of children’s smartwatches because some models come with a remote listening capability, which counts as a spying device under German law.

The regulator has instructed buyers of these smartwatches to destroy them and obtain a certificate to prove the device has been made “harmless”.
