I'm surprised a pseudocon such as yourself is not a "privacy freak".I’m not a privacy freak, and I don’t really give a shit who records what about me
Did you know your smart phone tracks all of your movements? That might work against you during a divorce proceeding. Or a criminal trial.

The device is called Echo.I found it interesting that their web-services company had the same name as their speaker device. Maybe that is why they gave it the new name of Echo to reduce the confusion?
Now you tell me the App. is also called Alexa?
Ways to Build with Amazon Alexa
Why is everything with them called Alexa? What is the final game plan here?
It's wake up word is "Alexa". But you can also wake it up with "Echo".
So if you want to know how to spell a word, for example, you would say, "Alexa, how do you spell antidisestablishmentarianism?"
As soon as you say the word "Alexa", the blue ring on the device lights up to let you know it is active.
The Echo speaker would then tell you how to spell the word.
Your request is simultaneously recorded on the Amazon Alexa app on your phone as "How do you spell antidisestablishmentarianism?" without the wake up word. Both the text of your request and the audio recording are saved onto your app and the Amazon servers.
There's a reason we have a Fourth Amendment. The attitude of "If you aren't doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about from the government" is incredibly naive. Our Founders saw first hand how totalitarian regimes have a funny way of finding the crimes you are committing even when you aren't committing any.I'm surprised a pseudocon such as yourself is not a "privacy freak".I’m not a privacy freak, and I don’t really give a shit who records what about me

See, it is this type of behavior that they would definitely doctor your data streams to make you look guilty in the end.Me, too.The Amazon smart speaker, known as the Echo or as "Alexa", records your requests. Everything you have ever said to your smart speaker is saved on Amazon's servers.
These recordings are not very secure.
For example: Amazon sent 1,700 Alexa voice recordings to the wrong user following data request
I also personally discovered other unbelievable invasions of privacy the Echo speaker is capable of, and have notified Amazon. They didn't appear to give a shit.
Now there is a smart speaker with a camera in it. This comes in two forms. The Show and the Dot.
Would you trust this unsecure photographic device in your bedroom?!?

FUCK no. I already have the cameras in my laptops taped over.
You would not want the government listening to your phone calls. So why would you not care if a corporation was listening to your BEDROOM!?!?

So why don’t you get off the grid then? Most people have come to expect privacy is a thing of the past. Everyone’s life is an open book. Embrace it

How so? I’m not disapproving or approving of any of it. The fact of the matter is that with technology our privacy has become a thing of the past. You can either embrace it or not, but fighting against it is an excerise in futility

In that line of thinking, people in the old days should have just learned to embrace never owning property and always working for a lord who could do anything he wanted to you. Did they waste their time fighting that system?
As in my point above, games don't have ANY legitimate reason to have access to your location, or your contacts list, or all of your network settings and can route around passwords etc.
Until people wake the f*ck up and start making noise - it is not going to stop.

It’s never going to stop, whether people wake up or not. There are too many corporations we’re addicted to that spy on us. People are focusing on getting by in there day to day lives and there privacy has become an afterthought. Everyone knows what they give up when they use company’s like google, Facebook, and Amazon.

So, your response is to throw up your hands and give up. That's how so.
