I will be six feet underground before I allow one of those things into my home.
I can see them as mandatory in 30 years...

“This amazing technology definitely helped save a mother and her child from a very violent situation.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mother having sense not to get involved with violent felons would be better.

Yep, me too.
Not paying to be spied on.
I didn’t even want a smart phone, but my son twisted my arm on that one.

I’ve seen it firsthand. They are not victims a lot of the time after the FIRST time.

They are enablers and it is SICKENING what they let be done to them and MORE sickening what they let be done to their children and let their children see.

...Both companies argue that listening in on users is necessary to improve the accuracy of their respective devices...

Wow.

Bigger question; is this person in our country legally, or is he a Jeb Bush lover?

Yep! Or, “...stop or I’ll have ALEXA CALL THE POLICE!....”

Could be helpful.

Sure would be nice if you fall and are unable to get up or you hear someone breaking in your home and while you get your weapon to tell Alexa to call the Sheriff.

The Post indicates that 911 contacted the female moments later, prompting Barros to throw her to the floor after seeing emergency services on her phone’s caller ID.

It seems like ALEXA helped to escalate the situation.

The police called - in response to ALEXA, which infuriated the man, and caused him to become physically violent.

BTW, are they both legally in the country?

The most dangerous words that an American child can hear today:

"Mommy's new boyfriend"

A SWAT team was dispatched to the residence

This should be a requirement for ALL Police Officers to have their House Raided by a Swat Team annually unannounced.

Yeah, I never trust Alexa. Muted her in my bedroom, too creepy. It’s good as a quick-answer assistant and similar without having to look stuff up on the computer. I use one in the kitchen for music and help cooking sometimes for recipes.

The most dangerous words that an American child can hear today has heard for decades.

"Meet Mommy's new boyfriend!"

A former female deputy sheriff, we knew, retired a couple of decades ago. She was often the lead officer in serious child abuse cases and unfortunately murder of a child.

Most of her bad cases involved men, who were not the fathers of the battered or worse kids.

This coupled with 5G is going to be like living in an interrogation room. Big brother will be watching and listening to everything.

I hope they get a good shot of me in my skivvies, sitting in my recliner scratching the Lil Brother.
