Bill overview
The Informing Consumers about Smart Devices Act requires manufacturers of internet-connected devices with cameras or microphones to clearly disclose this feature to consumers *before* they purchase the device. This law aims to increase transparency about devices that can record audio or video. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will be responsible for enforcing the law, and the FTC will provide guidance to manufacturers on how to comply. The law excludes devices like mobile phones and cameras that consumers would reasonably expect to have these features.
