Better IoT

A community-built assessment tool to help #iot startups and product owners improve their decision-making across #sustainability #security #opensource issues.

[Better IoT @betteriot]

Had a bit of a spring clean on our website! Remember our assessment tool is free, will take you 15-30 minutes, will help you plan for the future of your #iot product and isn't just for your CTO! #sustainability #ethics

Today's admin includes handing over @betteriot to @tamberg for safe keeping. It was an amazing privilege to shepherd this exercise in framing what 'good' #iot design needed to be. Check out the tool we collectively built (2017-2019). #betteriot

Amazon has taken an important step forward in protecting their customers with #2FA, but there is still work to be done.

In our #PrivacyNotIncluded guide, we found that @Ring doorbells meet only 2/5 of our Minimum Security Guidelines.

Pretty creepy. 😲 https://t.co/OvUXjqn5lM
