Would you allow a person unknown to you into your home to be there 24x7 with a video recorder taping everything that goes on? You wouldn’t?

Then why do you have an Alexia or a workalike?

In George Orwell’s book 1984 these were called Telescreens. Sorta like today’s ‘smart’ TVs.

How do you know what I have in my home? Have you been spying on me though one of these gadgets???

In Orwell’s fiction, the telescreens were mandated by big brother. Orwell did not envision people voluntarily signing up and paying for the privilege of being monitored 24/7.
