事件经过
美国联邦贸易委员会（FTC）的一份新报告显示，许多智能设备制造商并未告知消费者他们将提供软件更新的时长。FTC审查了184款设备，包括助听器和安防摄像头，发现近89%的设备未披露软件支持时长。智能设备（例如用于控制家庭照明或追踪健身数据的设备）依赖定期更新以保持功能正常。如果没有这些更新，设备可能失去智能功能并停止工作。FTC建议消费者在购买智能设备时保持谨慎，并询问制造商他们将继续提供更新的时长。
在接受审查的184款设备中，有161款未就其支持时长提供明确信息。在某些情况下，FTC无法在网上找到任何更新细节。该机构建议，如果制造商未披露支持时长，消费者应考虑设备是否物有所值。FTC还警告，制造商未提供此重要信息可能违反消费者保护法，包括《联邦贸易委员会法案》和《马格努森-莫斯保修法案》。FTC鼓励消费者如果找不到这些信息，直接联系制造商。
