McAfee to CIA: You Should Be Ashamed; What Were You Thinking?

How does ECHO work? Where does the information come from? Is it stored on the device?
Mine just answers that it doesn’t understand the question. It also says that it would never intentionally lie to me.
I have no idea why anyone would want this in their life.
I realize it’s not a perfect analogy, but I just keep thinking of the Mark of the Beast. It’s Amazon, right? So we’re talking about buying ... pretty much anything.
And there is now an expectation that you will invite this monster into your home and let it know everything there is no know about you, just so you can be an Amazon customer.
I’m not taking that Mark.
Alexa is big brother.
Has anyone here tried this CIA question so we know it isnt someone screwing around.
ECHO listens to everything, transmits its to Amazon systems for a response.
It is a spy in the home.
I asked the same question and got the same response, a two tone response with no words.
Two days later I asked the same question and got the response, “No, I work for Amazon.”
Bingo,just like google is the internet spy, cataloging your every internet move.
“The Cloud’ = someone else’s hard drive
The one where the guy asks about FBI, FDA , etc is interesting to see how it responds to each.
Try asking yours if it shares information with the CIA. One person theorized they changed the data base after connected to CIA question so someone changed it to sharing information with the CIA.
““The Cloud’ = someone else’s hard drive”
In the 1990s, the Cloud = Managed Service Provider. That didn’t sell so they rebranded it as “the cloud” after the Microsoft Visio cloud image used to represent the Internet.
Fools.
i’LL TAKE A DOZEN OF THOSE AND SHE CAN SPY ON EVERYTHING
This is just paranoia. If you want to find out ALL you can about the Echo become a developer for what are called “skills”. You’ll get all the info you need for developing apps for the echo and there’s nothing nefarious going on.
