If I had an Alexa box, the only privacy feature I would trust would be a switch to physically disconnect the microphone.

That’s how they got me. I decided Siri was acceptable since I could set it to only listen when I pressed a button. Now somehow there’s an echo device in every room

As opposed to now when everything you say to your Echo is sent to Amazon, but Amazon gives you a placebo privacy button to pacify you.

So now every word you utter that Bezos’ AI thinks is a trigger word will be auto reported to the Trump admin. Love!

Time to ditch those spyboxes

I think everyone should speak of uprising activities against the Trump regime to send them into a tizz.
