Ok

Shit, people act as if that little box is the only thing recording you. Your phone is your life, and they have access to all of it. All your worst privacy fears have already come true, but convenience is a stronger drug than heroin so we ignore it.

The only "bug" was that the recording wasn't sent to Amazon for storage, like it was supposed to. I'm completely sure it is designed to record you at all times, and to forward that data to Amazon at all times. Regardless of any bullshit Amazon may tell you, just read the terms of service you agree to by using the damn device!

I could keep quoting, but you get the idea...

Also worth noting is their "Privacy" Notice.

I do have to add though, in all honesty, anyone with a cell-phone probably shouldn't feel too holier-than-thou...
NOTE: Remove the _ between "Ama" and "zon" to see the links. Voat blocks all links from that shithole.

ToS are always scary. Voat has an indemnity clause that says that if you post or say something that gets voat, inc sued, that you agree to pay all court costs, any potential fine and pay for their lawyer, any high priced lawyer they also technically own all posts and comments and you agree to license your oc to voat for any purpose including for profit promotion.

This is scarier than Alexa, this of it, every post, comment and reply that you typed used against you.
