The We-Vibe 4 Plus is a rubbery clamp that looks a little like the oversized thumb and forefinger of a Disneyland character pinching down. It comes in black, purple or pink and is billed as the "number one couple's vibrator." It has Bluetooth so that, once inserted into the desired part of your body, you can connect it to your smartphone and then use the We-Vibe app to control the intensity of its vibration.
So far, so saucy, but the following was revealed by two security researchers @gOldfisk and @rancidbacon at Defcon.
When the device is in use, the We-Vibe 4 Plus uses its internet connectivity to regularly send information back to its manufacturer, Standard Innovations Corporation. It sends the device's temperature every minute, and lets the manufacturer know each time a user changes the device's vibration level. The company could easily figure out some seriously intimate personal information like when you get off, how long it takes, and with what combinations of vibes.
Standard Innovation Corporation's president Frank Ferrari explains why they do this.
"At We-Vibe, we strive to create innovative products that have our customer's preferences in mind," he said. "We-Vibe collects data on the use of its products in terms of vibration intensity and mode for market research purposes so that we can better understand what settings and levels of intensity are most enjoyed."

So's Milo Yiannopoulos. Flamboyantly so exclusively for black cock. And he's a Trump supporter. So what?

I personally have no problem with gays, although it's annoying to get hit on by someone you're not even compatible sexual preference with.
Lots of Republicans and conservatives do have problems with it, though, at least officially. Although after the Mark Foley thing came out it was revealed that gays essentially run much of the Republican Party on Capitol Hill. Maybe it was something like the power of eunuchs in certain Chinese dynasties.

The fun thing is, the younger gay men are abandoning the left. There's nothing there for them anymore.
