FYI you can program Alexa to say whatever you want it to say when asked a certain question. I’m not saying they did that here, but it’s a thing.
The question is, for me, does the ‘programmed answer’ go into the Alexa algorithm [AKA: Mastodon database] and then distributed to everyone who asks the question?
Or worse, send a “flag” to the mothership about your “social credit score”?
FreeRepublic: The last of a dying breed; an information compiler not based on Mastodon database algorithms.
Although spider bots do send FR info ‘home’ for Mastodon to collate.
How do you think FreeRepublic got labeled in most commercial firewalls as a \Right-wing activist site\?
