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


https://www.thepetitionsite.com/en-g...eir-knowledge/


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


Thats just listening to the actual alexa command itself,
not everything. And they dont sell that to the govt.

They do that to check how well alexa is interpreting
the commands and questions.


If they can listen to the command, they can listen to everything.


No they cant, the recognition of the word alexa is done by the
device, its never going to be feasible to stream all the audio
world wide full time. And the device turns on its light when
it is streaming the audio to the command interpreter so you
can check when its streaming back to amazon.

Why do you trust them?


Nothing that happens in my house is of any risk to me even
if someone is actually stupid enough to listen to it all.

Same with all my phone calls and all my other
electronic communication and all my purchases;

If I ever do murder anyone I know how to keep that secret.

I already do that with my torrenting.
