Like, we all know they're listening , but can we provide proof?

My friend was complaining about all the new super surveillance that will be government required in cars after 2027, and I said to him dude you have a stock android, you use every AI slop feature, you use a smart TV on your unsecured network, and uses x every day. They have everything they could possibly need on him. Oh and he posts questionable things to fb daily under his real name.

The plaintiffs alleged Amazon designed the technology “to illegally and surreptitiously intercept billions of private conversations” that extended beyond commands aimed at Alexa.

    Oh, perhaps I was thinking of another lawsuit. Anyway, that's a lawsuit, and doesn't constitute any proof by itself - but it would be very interesting to see if there were any, especially since Amazon did take great pains yo specifically design their Echo products, at least in the beginning, to not record any audio when not explicitly invoked by the user.
