Serious but tongue in cheek. Their product and service naturally requires a somewhat higher level of personal privacy yet they seem to look at their own business as serving the horny freaks who don't deserve better.

They may be right in that their customers are probably not very privacy focused. The intersection between "people who connect sex toys to the internet" and "people who care a lot about privacy" is quite likely to be small.

I agree their attitude is pretty bad though. They should care about customers privacy with something like this.

Maybe. I think it's more like they are not tech literate (and also this Lovense thing is like google or microsoft for them. They can't not use it if they want to remain competitive.) If people go doxing a few high profile users, I am sure people will worry about their privacy a lot more.

		Good point. I was thinking about normal users, which the site seems to be aimed at, but I can see its a much more of a risk for high profile users.

They're just another cheap IoT consumer electronics company. It's not that deep.
