“…A major concern with this exception is that ‘robust anonymisation of IoT data is extremely difficult to achieve, or, put differently, that re‐identification is far easier than expected’ (Peppet, 2014, p. 130; see also OVIC, 2021). This is because many IoT devices collect information that is highly personalised and individualised (Kryla‐Cudna, 2018), including detailed information about a person's or family's habits and interactions with and near these devices. The range of biographical, biological, physical or biometric, and geographic location data collected by IoTs and stored by technology companies is very difficult to de‐personalise or de‐identify, and thus provides extensive insight into a person's activities and habits (and also their family's).…”

The expansive growth of consumer internet of things (IoT) has created a range of concerns around privacy, security, and their broader societal impacts. This article reports on findings from interviews with 32 key stakeholders from the fields of information security, policy and regulation, the IoT industry, consumer and privacy law, and academia in Australia. It details a broad variety of issues and concerns that go beyond the well-recognised issue of privacy or the technical standards of information security, to encompass a wider set of issues regarding the implications for vulnerable communities, the environment and industrial standards of IoT production. Most key stakeholders expressed the view that more robust regulation is required in Australia, but no clear regulatory priority or strategy was identified by our sample. The implications of these findings for further regulation of consumer IoT and future regulatory strategies are considered.
