Secretly installed software on Rented Computers collected information,
took pictures of consumers in their homes, and tracked consumers locations. The FTC has put a halt to webcam spying
unless they receive consent from the customer.
Thus, it could be buried in the rental contract fine print. However every future violation will incur a
civil penalty of up to $16,000 per incident according to the FTC news release.
