The connected-toy boom has placed always-on cameras, microphones, and cloud AI into children's bedrooms. This article examines the Miko 3, a $299 AI companion robot whose privacy policy pages all return 404 errors, through two lenses: the documented child-robot attachment pathway and the data-harvesting architecture.

Peter Duesberg co-discovered the first oncogene, then spent 30 years arguing that scrambled chromosomes, not mutated genes, are the real cause of cancer.
