Yeah I’ve heard that response. I still don’t care. If it’s not one way of listening to me it’s another.

Our phones also listen to everything we say. In addition to tracking our every move.

It’s hard for me to be more concerned about the Echo in my bedroom.

The device isn't just listening when you ask it something. Also, depending on the tv you have. That device is also recording your conversations.


It's sitting right in front of the TV speaker/soundbar. Like I said..all they'll get is the TV...Let them record me telling my dogs to get out of my chair. I don't really care. There's nothing we speak of that matters.

It truly is not earth shattering in my house as an issue. But then again I'm cognizant to everything that hooks up to the network. I'm no tin hat wearing fool, but I'm not dumb either to the world of hackers/eavesdroppers.

They must hear me fart rape a lot. Does that mean I'm on the reeducation camp list?

You are very correct Evil Little Thing ... Your phone listens to you everywhere, tracks you so it knows where you were when you said it. Not much difference between a smart home device and your smartphone, just a better speaker. With that said, I still carry my phone around.

deleted Facebook years ago but created a burner with a fake name to read a few articles awhile back. Almost every friend suggestion it sends me are people I know irl. I'm about to whack that one too.


LinkedIn is the really creepy one. I get "do you know him/her" suggestions for fictional people I invented in order to troll scammers...and those people don't even have anything other than an email.
