    That’s not how it works, at all, at ANY tech company. I know, because Amazon has a shared GitFarm, with detailed documentation on how things work, and most importantly the better part of a decade where no one inside or outside of the company has found the device “listening”.

    I said it elsewhere, but will repeat since you clearly have no idea about the tech industry. Amazon treats it’s corp employees like shit. If ANYONE was going to leak shit about their employer doing something shitty, it would be an Amazon employee, especially since their URA process is so widely known.

    IF Amazon get caught spying, they get everything that they deserve. I’ve never worked in the Ring org, so whatever they do is on them, and if they get caught being shitty with customer data they should be punished severely. What I can say, which (again) is backed by a decade of people not calling out the really-fucking-easily-verified fact that Alexa isn’t phoning home outside of the utterances you say to it. Wakewords don’t leave the device, they’re an offline trigger to get the “actual” content.

    I’ll repeat it again, this is an insane take that I haven’t experienced after a decade of posting on Reddit and Twitter. Why is the fediverse full of conspiracy theorists that don’t do basic research before making statements?

      lol they are such stereotypical conspiracy theorists too, “of course you’d say it’s not true, that’s exactly what someone who was hiding the truth would say!”

      Your general demeanor is atrocious.

      Genuinely.

      If you think they’re not spying then you’re just still way too low on the totem pole.

      You “work at Amazon” so I imagine you’re either deluded or intentionally misleading on purpose.

      All I hear is the gish gallop of someone unreliable trying desperately to make himself out to be reliable for one of the reasons that he’s unreliable, implying that questioning him makes you worse than the worst conspiracy nuts on known hotbeds for conspiracy nuts reddit and Twitter 🙄

      Who was it that said “when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging”? You should take that advice.
