[SystemSafety] German Federal Agency Rules on Communicating Toys

[Peter Bernard Ladkin]

The Cayla toy, and any similar toys which can potentially hear/overhear private conversations and
transmit them to a third party are illegal in Germany. It is classified as a "surveillance device".

I don't yet know how they cope with Amazon Alexa.
