[QUOTE="trekrok, post: 3586446, member: 6668"] Oh, I know. I jokingly (mostly) mentioned sound proof boxes for smartphones above. The phone offers me enough usefulness that I'm willing to sacrifice privacy I guess. I see the Alexa type devices as a purpose built privacy invader. What are the legalities of gov using these as listening devices? Can they get a warrant and have Amazon turn on the mike? Or can the government do the same with the phone mic? I'm not a tech person, but wouldn't opening up your network to your neighbor make it much easier for the Alexa to be hacked? [/QUOTE]
