Amazon has launched a new technology that the company says will enhance the performance of some of its internet-connected devices. But Amazon Sidewalk also uses the Wi-Fi within millions of American homes, and that has some privacy advocates concerned. CBS News' Nichelle Medina has the details.
Starting on June 8, all Amazon smart devices across the U.S. will automatically be linked to one another as a part of Amazon's Sidewalk network. The goal is to create a low bandwidth network bridging all devices so that users can reboot malfunctioning equipment and even locate missing objects outside of the house. However, Sidewalk runs off of device owners' personal Wi-FI, prompting some security concerns. CBSN technology reporter Dan Patterson joins Tanya Rivero with his analysis.
