it's fairly silly to have internet ready blenders, not that they won'. I worked on a commercial for IBM a few years ago with the refrtigerator that calls the service man when it needs fixing.
Most of us probably have no need to worry if out blender narcs on us about out blending habbits. As for calling service, appliances don't break very often, so it's silly. I think there are just about no appliances you should operate remotely like that, it's really asking for trouble.
The tone of the story is a bit weird, It's saying that they could turn ordinary items into bugs. which unless someone makes a clock radio with a built in microphone, would be impossibel, but also they are very concearned about inerferance on short wave bands, which the FCC wouldn't approve because they don't generally approve things which cause broad spectrum interferance. If the government was really that ben tover by big companies, we'd already have better broadband.
It's silly
I think the aliens are against it because it would interfere with the mothership communicating with the aliens and they'd have to abandon earth.
