Amazon saved children’s voices recorded by Alexa even after parents asked for it to be deleted. Now it’s paying a $25 million fine.::“For too long, Amazon has treated children’s sensitive data as its own property,” Josh Golin, executive director of Fairplay, said in a statement.

    If you were actually dumb enough to put one of these listening devices in your home owned by the most powerful & greedy company on the planet you deserve to have your privacy invaded. People are fucking stupid.

      i mean my brother bought them and refuses to remove them. There is no convincing him to remove them. They are in basically every room and nobody defends me when I want them gone because of convenience.

      I cannot even ask for the data to be erased because it is not on my account.

        Are both of you living with your parents? I would make a point to not talk when such devices are present. Or just voice order expensive shit on Amazon for his account.

          Also he uses a debit card which he only transfers money to immediately before buying stuff (so that he gets as much interest as possible)
