Comcast adds motion sensing to millions of its newer routers, with a privacy catch

Comcast has enabled motion detection capability on its newer routers, allowing the devices to sense movement inside homes without separate motion sensors. The feature raises privacy considerations for users of the affected devices.

Why it matters: Home internet users with newer Comcast routers should understand what motion data the router collects, who can access it, and whether they can disable the feature; this affects consumer privacy and may require explicit consent.
