Me: I won't discuss business in a room with an Alexa, because Amazon is my business competitor and they eavesdrop.

Various other folks:  

Today: Amazon to pay fine for eavesdropping. https://www.npr.org/2023/06/01/1179381126/amazon-alexa-ring-settlement

@mwl Also, serious question: Why should only children have their privacy protected & respected...? If not doing so is wrong for them, why is it OK for adults?

@jwcph @mwl It's a very strange societal bias indeed.

Harming children is taboo but the minute they reach the local age of majority, fuck them up as much as you want with no consequence.

It certainly seems to me that there's no sound reasoning to justify having an upper limit on the restrictions to harm.
