This was so obviously a bad idea from day one, I was shocked at how widely adopted these were right away. In retrospect I shouldnt have been surprised but somehow I just always expect people to be smarter.
I don’t take VACCINES because the GOVERNMENT puts TRACKING CHIPS in them! You can’t trust ANYTHING made by SCIENCE anymore!

The scariest part is when you just think about pancakes and then start seeing ads for flour and maple syrup 10 minutes later. They don’t even need the wiretap anymore.
Has there actually been evidence of Alexa or Google homes being used for government surveillance?
Ring doorbells now give their footage to Flock, which can give/sell it to anyone. No warrant necessary. Not exactly what you’re asking about, but along the same lines.
Ring, also owned by Amazon, shares their video surveillance with Flock, which contracts with local LE agencies who share it with the feds.
0 warrants required, and ICE is actively using the data against people.
If the data is there a fascist government will absolutely use it. Of course in a democracy that won’t happen … unless you vote for fascists, ooopsie.
The data isn’t there. At least not in the way some of the biggest fearmongers talk about it. Everything you say to the device, you can assume is there. But it listens for the wake word locally and doesn’t send information to the server until after it receives the wake word.
It’s can hallucinate the wake word and streams everything after. And that’s assuming you trust the manufacturer which, why would you?
Alexa is wildly popular. What has Amazon done to gain everyone’s trust? They just offer the cheapest version.

Care to clarify your meaning? Or are you just disagreeing because it feels good to go along with the conspiracy theory?
