Hang on, an Amazon Echo? Like the Alexa

Yep.

that spies on you?

Nope, just listens to you questions or commands
which have Alexa in front of them

"Amazon employs thousands of people around the world to listen to and transcribe recordings made by Alexa-enabled device users."


Keep in mind you're replying to "Rod Speed" AKA "IQ Zero".


He's irritating and childish, but he certainly isn't stupid.

The employees get a bonus if they manage to find anything
worth selling.
Bad news for them - the main dataminers (FaceKook, Amazun, M$,
Glugle etc) are automating the process with AI and adding
photographic/fingerprint recognition so they get more for your PRIVATE
data.
I believe San Francisco is the only place in the World they've
passed a law that prohibits the spying. But it's only valid there.
Which is why the dataminers re-route the calls.


About time it was made illegal everywhere.

Imagine you're having sex with your wife, and Alexa (therefore Amazon employees) can hear you....
