This dog says … Put Amazon in the bin along with Alexa.

Why on earth would anyone still be using these pieces of shit, let alone letting Amazon use your data and searches. #FuckBezos #fuckbillionaires #fuckamazon

You are the business model

I'm surprised the evil megacorporation would do this

Can't opt out? Amazons never heard of "unplugging"

Everything 45 touches collapses we the people around the world helped collapse Tesla Starlink we can do the same 2 Bezos & Zuckerberg. Bezos made a statement I want me employees terrified when they come 2 work. How about we make Bezos terrified we're going 2 bankrupt him. Show no mercy 2 fascist's.

I would never have one of those things in my house. Voluntarily bugging yourself? How stupid can you be?

Is the convenience of easy toilet paper aquisition worth this? Fuck. big. tech.

Hey Alexa, fuck Jeff Bezos with a pineapple sideways.

Wiretap+

Not any window. Check if cybertrucks’ windows are well glued

Glad I tossed mine

George Orwell had a great imagination, but even he could not foresee a world so stupid that the surveillees would themselves pay for the surveillance devices.

Everyone chuck your echo at a Tesla and join the revolution

HA! 👂🏻🔨🔥=🙉

💯

Make sure you don’t discuss vandalizing Teslas near your device. All recordings probably go to Elon for AI screening.

I wouldn’t have one of those streaming voice-spy units in my home…EVER!

Your cell already listens to everything you’re saying

Dude, I think this with my phone just lying around as well. Any time I say anything meaningful or, possibly, controversial, I look at my phone. I assume it will be sent to HQ.

Really. Get off your asses turn off the lights. Change the TV yourself. How did you manage before you asked a stupid machine to do your stuff.

Even when GPS is disabled, you're still tracked 2 other ways: 1) The cell tower you use for data and calls pinpoints your location to transmit services to you 2) WiFi - The MAC has the location registered to the ISP for your router. VPN avoids this, but some VPNs release your ISP info if subpoenaed.

Phones absolutely listen to us already

Can’t wait for the current admin to ask Bezos for these recordings to track political dissidents

Why do people still use these things?

BIG SISTER.

Wonderful timing for Amazon to be abandoning any pretext that they aren't recording everything you say (and sharing it with anyone who'll pay them.) Glad I went with my instincts and pawned the Alexa someone gave me as a Christmas gift. Voice assistants aren't worth having your home bugged 24/7.

Unplug that shit and throw it away

For disabled people, it can be helpful. For everyone else: convenience & love of gadgets they think will make life easier. There always seems to be a trade-off w/ ‘convenience’ tech tho. Usually at customer expense. See also: social media, driverless cars, drones, Nest, Ring…etc etc etc.

I don't use echo, don't even know what it is

If you’re not using your Alexa, unplug it. It is always listening. When I want to listen to music on it, I plug it in. Of course, our cell phones are listening too

Excellent. Alexa+ will be managing my grandsons' millions of requests for farts & belches.

How fucking stupid are they? Hopefully others like me will stop using Alexa and cancel Amazon Music subscriptions. This is not the way to bolster business.

I understand the motivation behind this (to get more data to train the model) but given the current political climate and the increasing attacks on free speech this feature is immediately disqualifying.

Good. Alexa can relay to Bezos that I called him a little bitch.

1 - This would not be legal in Europe, so you should make clear this is a US thing. 2 - Anyone who thinks tech companies are not listening to everything via your smartphone is an idiot. Maybe you can write about 2 ALL THE TIME, instead of pretending the tech industry did not already do this...

Only if you're buying their stocks.

I just ask her to say dirty things. "Alexa, Simon says ..... "

I no longer conduct business with Amazon!

Sheesus.

Good thing I won't be buying anything from Amazon for the next 500 years.

You know you can make what is sent to Amazon useless for AI or for targeted marketing. Just place Alexa next to your TV and crank up a couple of porn movies. Bezos will get jealous your getting laid more than he, and the data will show that people like pizzas with sausages in their pockets.

That’s why I always make sure to say “Jeff Bozos is a pathetic c*nt, and his plastic girlfriend is equally disgusting”, whenever I walk by one. I recommend it.

Exactly. It’s already happening, people just haven’t been paying attention 🤷‍♀️

“Hey wire tap.. can you order me a pizza?”

I don’t use Alexa

Never thought it was a good idea to have a spy listening device so I don't have one.
