    You’re getting douchevoted for speaking heresy but you’re right, Amazon only records requests and commands - i.e. what you say after “Alexa”. Every article about what Amazon actually does and doesn’t record is quickly forgotten because sinister plots are far more entertaining.

      Thank you and god forbid someone has a different opinion. There are a lot of assumptions on the internet about what smart speakers are and aren’t but this article didn’t reveal anything shocking IMO. The writer didn’t even seem bothered by all of it. It just came off as a simple observation piece to me.

        Yeah the tone wasn’t OMG I’m being spied on, it was more like here’s what I found when I perused an old family album I forgot about.
