      I still find it hard to believe we put more listening devices into our homes willingly. The phone is bad enough, somewhat hard to avoid. How do we willingly dot our homes with more of them?https://twitter.com/tiffanycli/status/999668015498256385 …

      Amazon Alexa secretly recorded private conversations and sent the recordings to random contacts - all without notifying users. 😱 https://www.fox13memphis.com/news/trending-now/amazon-alexa-recorded-private-conversation-sent-it-to-random-contact-woman-says/755720160 … ht @sapna

      1. Couple has private conversation in their home. 2. Their Amazon Echo records it without them knowing. 3. The Echo sends the audio to their acquaintance in another state. Here's the explanation Amazon gave to @Recode about why this happened. https://www.recode.net/2018/5/24/17391480/amazon-alexa-woman-secret-recording-echo-explanation … pic.twitter.com/eF0nC6PymI

          It's only 35000 but still. People don't want to buy the product so the next step is forcing people to use it. Nice example of how the market doesn't always regulate itself
