      Who the hell is the manufacture to decide if a remote feature no longer functions? (I'm guessing people don't rent these devices from Amazon - it's your property).

      I don't need your concent, it's in your best interests - Amazon

        If you were using one, you were already okay with this.

        My parents have an Alexa and I have no choice in whether they install one in our house or not. I doubt they would be convinced by my pleas about privacy. So unfortunately and reduction in whatever privacy that was left is a shame.

            If Corporations were people, they'd be disappeared in the night for stuff like this.

            Which is why they're not people.

            Why anyone would want some Tech company spybot sifting through their private experiences is beyond me, but that's definitely what they are doing.

            But the C-suite and board are almost like humans. And that's even better for... things.

                I thought so… I was like wait what dont they already have to process all that data?! And no doubt its in a db somewhere… thats just how things are done. Even if they werent a malicious company, they would still need to save the data to improve the product and for analytics..

                  You can buy an egg timer for a few bucks. They say the perfect number of words; zero.

                    I have always told people to avoid Amazon.

                    They have doorbells to watch who comes to your house and when.

                    Indoor and outdoor security cameras to monitor when you go outside, for how long, and why.

                    They acquired roomba, which not only maps out your house, but they have little cameras in them as well, another angle to monitor you through your house in more personal areas that indoor cameras might not see.

                    They have the Alexa products meant to record you at all times for their own use and intent.

                    Why do you think along with Amazon Prime subscriptions you get free cloud storage, free video streaming, free music? They are categorizing you in the most efficient and accurate way possible.

                    Boycott anything Amazon touches

                    Yet, you probably use an Apple iPhone or an Android device. You should be avoiding all 3 of these, which I have been since inception.

                      You guessed that I use an apple device or an android. Your guess are the top two options that capture 99% of the market? Wow, super genius thought process
