If it doesn’t have a microphone it can’t spy on you. If it doesn’t have a camera, it can’t take your picture. (Or look at your butt.) I have yet to see a microwave with a microphone attached.
Simply because a device is connected to a network does NOT mean it can spy on you. Amazon’s Echo can spy on you, the teakettle can’t.
Seriously, if this expert, standing there in the room with the blasted kettle can’t get it to listen to his voice commands, what hope is there for some joker at the CIA to do the same from 1000 miles away, using back doors into Echo or Siri?
A friend of mine actually worked on a camera equipped toaster. The camera was looking at the toast through a light pipe to assure it was toasted correctly by looking at it’s color. I don’t think it intended for the end user though, just research.
It is not the toaster and the microwave doing the spying. It is the corrupt Trump administration looking into what American citizens are saying about him.
Rasmussen, aren’t you supposed to have a bias to the right?

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 45% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty-four percent (54%) disapprove.
The latest figures include 28% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 44% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -16. "
Yeah, I’m sure Kelly Anne would know. She is convinced that Obama has planted a “bug” in her “atomic” clock and it is spying on her every move and “listening” to her every word.

Now if we can just get things rolling to make this administration, “toast”.

My cat follows me around the house. I wonder if the NSA has implanted a camera in her eye.

The microwave spies on you because its the one place you can’t put tin foil.

We don’t have that many enchanted objects in our kitchen. No reason to think any of them could possibly be bugged.
