They've been doing that since it came out.

[goodson]

makes zero difference. all mics have been hot for the last 20 years.

[ThatsDude]

I have a dumb home. I enjoy it. As soon as the kids are out of school I'm going to the country to raise chickens.

[katwilsey]

Good thing Ive never invited Alexa into my home. I also actually vacuum my own floors instead of using some round robot.

[stoptheracisism]

Knew this was coming when it came out the echo. I returned mine when I read the terms and conditions

[TEXASPATRIOT]

Yeah, I tossed mine several years ago. It’s bad enough that they’ve got our phones, watches, computers, tv/remotes etc. listening to us. I can keep some of that confined and in some cases stored in faraday bags.

[coop]

Haha so thankful that we poor natives are so blessed to not have any devices but only our phones and smart tv because grandma was.not having any issues with privacy and she was right.
Every day that goes by i am so thankful to be living far out on the rez. I pray for all the people in cities everyday

Bill Barr; Hey Alexa, get the f outta my house.

[Leeahtee]

I never understood the whole Alexa movement. What's the point? What's the attraction? Maybe it was a new status symbol? Useless IMO.

[jambutty]

Never owned one, never used apple products or siri never used this AI chat rubbish.

[burgundygriffith]

All of our devices are a huge problem. Alexa is particularly sinister. You have to be totally naive to put that thing in your home.

[PaulaHawk]

Our refrigerators spy on us.
Who needs Alexa?

[matthewparsley]

Thanks, but honestly think sum folks think they can say elexa off and it quits picking up on voices...

[CityBoi-be]

and ur tv on or off and ur phone on or off and ur wifi box... Big Brother's always listening/watching!

[bendepeel]

It's for the government and palantir

[Damin-Danger-Ledford]

I'm pretty this included the fire stick and its remote since they have the option to be voice commanded/activated.
Guess I'm gonna hafta get rid of that shite as well.

[Hiro.the.God.]

I have never owned or used Alexa in my life. You don’t NEED it. Stop giving away your power.

[joebeach]

They already know everything theu wanna know anyways

[miask]

This is why I don’t use this crap. The only Google product I use is YouTube and every possible privacy setting on my social media is enabled. I’m not going to make it easy for them.

[Kevdawg]

Ive never been to into this Alexa or any of this junk id rather just use my phone without assistance
