You couldn't pay me to put one of those fuckin things in my home. Like, I'm the kind who leaves their phone in another room when they're not expecting calls or texts, unhooks the usb mic and webcam from both ends when done using them, and avoids all these "home assistants" that are definitely feeding 24/7 raw audio of your house to the NSA; idk how people can be so OPSEC-free as to let these Alexas, Echos, and Google Homes pass through their front door.
I feel similarly. Of all the devices used for mass surveillance, the "home assistants" are definitely one of the most suspicious.
