Is Amazon a comedy site?

I don’t get it. What is the point of “sharing bandwidth?”

Oh Yay!

Not only will Amazon be spying on me, but so will the neighbors!

Seriously! Who comes up with this crap??

Some of us are still on metered connections (sigh). So no.

“help devices stay online even if they are outside the range of their home wifi”

Isn’t that called public wifi?

I miss the days of Webtv...sure you could download anything...but you could get online for $9 a month.

Coincidentally, Bezos will track everything.

Surprise!

Another ‘altruistic’ data harvesting scheme. You can smell the stink of totalitarian evil a mile away.

No. Especially because not all neighbors are good and we pay bills online. Nooo.

Sounds like something that would violate the TOS of many/most ISPs, if they chose to enforce it. Especially if said ISP has their own, for-money, “share the bandwidth YOU paid for” “plan”.

And people wonder why I’ve said that hacking is a more powerful tool than guns.

Let the hacking begin!

Another big issue. If you’re sharing your connection, it will trace back to your own IP address. So, some dirty chomo connects to your network and starts downloading child porn... Now the cops are smashing in your door. Not a good idea by any means.
