Banning furbies because they "learn and repeat words" is a stupid reason, because they had an inbuilt list of about 100 English words that they could "learn".
Thus, you could talk state secrets to it all day every day for a year and all it would learn would be its internal list of words.
Having said that banning furbies is probably a good way to remind people about recording devices and banning furbies was probably a sensible thing to do.
