Home Security Startup Cocoon Raises $3M

There are plenty of legitimate concerns about privacy and security with any sensor installed in the home. However, you could at least read the basic information on their site about how they handle this before posting. For example, their site clearly states:

"Video is encrypted before it leaves your home with decryption keys held only on your mobile devices. Our cloud never sees your keys guaranteeing that data can never be leaked." -- https://cocoon.life/details/

It's fair to question how a customer could be confident that this is, and will always remain, the case. It's fair to ask what happens if the device is compromised, and how that might happen, and how that might be prevented. But it looks as though your characterisation of "filling your home with sensors broadcasting their inputs to a 3rd party" was just completely made up.

You're right. It appears they're doing things right. I overlooked that part of their site when I first viewed the link. I apologize to the Cocoon team for my oversight, and appreciate a company that looks like they're tackling the concerns I expressed head-on.
