Amazon wants to put a camera and microphone in your bedroom with the UK launch of its latest Echo home device. The camera on the £119.99 ($129) Echo Spot, which doubles up as a 'smart alarm', will probably be facing directly at the user's bed. The device, which is already available in the US has such sophisticated microphones it can hear people talking from across the room - even if music is playing.

This is on top of the rumor that Facebook will offer a similar system. Take your pick Big Zuckerberg or Big Bezos.

I’m just a simple real estate guy but it seems to me that getting one of these devices is about as stupid as sending fluid samples to some DNA company so it can tell you where it’s computers tell it what country you’re from. In both instances, you have to give them some of your money.

Surprised they haven’t already.

The genius here is that people will buy the implements of their own surveillance.

Why on earth would anybody want any of these evil devices in their home, much less their bedrooms?.................

Hell, I don’t even trust the camera on my iMac. I cover it up with a sticker.

This is why these same people like Suckerberg want to bring in stupid illiterates who can’t think beyond the propaganda that the media tells them. They want to be defacto rulers of a stupid country.

Khrushchev once stated that they, the Soviet Union, would sell us the rope we would hang ourselves with.

The only plus to this nonsense is that you can feed it incredible amounts of disinformation and rabbit hole key words. If you have the time or enthusiasm?
