@Kilroy@snouts.online Alexa was a bridge too far for me in terms of data security for the same reason we skipped having a smart TV: there’s a big difference between a mobile device that collects metadata that is heavily regulated vs giving arbitrary voice and picture data to poorly defined IoT.
For me, it’s less about what happens to data that lands on our friendly neighborhood megacorp’s servers, and more about not wanting my TV or Alexa unit showing up on Shodan visible to anyone.
