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."

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

IAWTP


Doesn't matter if it's not sold to the government. Somebody is spying.


I couldnt care less. Or about the spying on my emails,
phone calls or other electronic communications. Or where
I am at any particular time, or where my car has gone etc.


Some (in fact most) people do.

Someone gets to hear private conversations.


No they dont with echoes, JUST the alexa commands and questions.


And you can prove this, and they're not lying when they tell you this?

I could give a flying red **** that it knows I didnt
set any timers yesterday and did ask for the time
a few times and the current temperature outside.


And the private conversations in your house? What if you invite your mate round for a joint and Amazon calls the pigs on you?

All your hooning around is recorded on your ANPR
cameras and what letterboxes you stuffed and when.


ANPR cameras are on motorways only. CCTV is only in dodgy council estates.

And neither of those are right either.
