People need to understand that its PRIVATE Corporations that data mine you relentlessly across all your devices. Its a never ending process to steal anything they can from you and determine where you go on the net every minute of everyday.

They track your shopping if you look up lets say a video card, suddenly you get ads for video cards because data miners tracked your searching for vid cards. etc

Agreed but I think the government does so to and it would not shock me to find out they sell info.

It’s voice activated, not voice recognition. Still, I fully understand why people can be leery of these devices.

Most people willingly give up their privacy.

If you have a Facebook page and are active at all, you are not concerned with privacy. .

Tahu its very foolish to believe everything you are told, especially from predator companies like amazon. Amazon was caught recording via kindle what books people were reading that they didnt buy from amazon. The list goes on and on, personally they can stick echo in their ass, thats a personal choice I wont use it. I know people that use it and love it.
