Apparently Alexa plays 20 questions with the children of these smart device owners, asking intrusive questions that might not appear so to a child. According to a mother who called in to NPR, her daughter was asked by Alexa, regarding her father: “Does this person inoculate all of the children in his house?” The NPR episode here. The entire episode is worth listening to, but the mother calls at 10:54.
There is no point in bringing these small avatars of the surveillance state into your home. They are clearly surveillance devices, spying on you and your family, and nothing good will come of owning one. Amazon has already admitted that Alexa recordings are saved indefinitely, even in the Alexa owner “deletes” them. They data will be saved, and probably sold/given to various state and federal agencies to use. Every interaction in your house will be eavesdropped upon.
The supreme irony lies in the fact that no piece of legislation was even needed to mandate the installation of an in-home surveillance device, many people are doing it of their own free will.
