How long before some fascist government realizes it has a De Facto Big Brother?
People are dumb.
Why do you have the none.com link in this?
Based on the rules, Bloomberg links cannot be in the usual place so I need just to put something there.
Would a Faraday cage block out Alexa or whatever from listening when you didn’t want it to?
I will never use the “cloud” for any thing.
Same here...
Unless you live in a remote cabin and never access the internet or do business with any institution than your information is in the cloud.
Most Companies are putting their information there to save a buck.
Bad idea, but then most business only their of the next quarter or 2 and their bottom line.
I don’t and won’t have a digital assistant (Alexa, etc) in my home or workplace. I have a cover over my laptop(s) camera and micro-phones. Crafty bastards can probably still get to me.
Roger that
WHY would you by an Amazon device that goes to the “Cloud”?
I can install a nice DVR cam system in my house, with secure remote access and not just GIVE AWAY all of that to others to watch. Cyber stupidity.
Of course they are. Watching videa, looking at pics, reading your email. Every piece of info you give Google or Amazon is harvested and sold to advertisers so they can target you.
Police can also subpoena the content and use it against you.
Ruh Roh! Oh, wait. Camera is inop.
Amazon is evil and satan controlled.
Ah, ok. Thx.
Bump!
Neither will I. Eric Blair was ahead of his time. Telescreens everywhere.
IMHO, people who willingly give their permission to be watched and listened to 24/7/365 are just plain dumb and obviously don't understand the implications.
They already have. See “social credit score”.
May be? Of course, they and everyone else and their big brothers are.
I posted this to my Facebook family and friends recently.
