Yes, you pay to have them spy on you. Get rid of alexa, echo dot, etc.
My daughter got rid of Alexa when she casually asked, “ Alexa what are you doing?” And Alexa said, “listening and learning.”
This can be perfectly innocent, since it gives Alexa the capacity to be like any good servant, that is, anticipate your requests, arrange things for you, etc.
But I’d be a heck of a lot happier if I didn’t feel the tech companies were “listening and learning” to try to stamp out Christians or any opposition.
