This isnt "hate facebook more" this is: Tech bros are ALL giving police transcripts of everything said in front of a phone, smart speaker, smart tv, facebook, xitter.
Everything said in front of Alexa and Siri is transcribed and stored, searchable for offenses.
Alexa transcripts have been used to jail a mother and daughter talking about womens health AT HOME.
All your devices are controlled tech bros. All are cooperating with police.
Doorbell video camera are watched live.
@kevinrns @jgilbert It’s worth pointing out the Supreme Court has created a 3rd party exception to the 4th amendment.
If you give information to a 3rd party - be it a bank, a teleco, Facebook, or an app that tracks cycles - a warrant isn’t required to search that information, at least as far as the US Constitution is concerned.
Ediiting out nonsense.
1. It agrees completely with my point that your ASUMED PRIVACY in front a toy a tech Bro sold IS GONE.
Nothing you say in front of Alexa or your phone is safe, ypur privacy will be stolen, you WILL be sold out to republican courts.
Your daughter is being watched by creeps in glass towers, her words transcribed, her freedom threatened, by her phone.
Some GOP loons are talking about abortion murder charges
Yes thanks. I am concerned that, like tixtter users thinking they are still on social media, and not being used to hide a weapon, device users DO NOT KNOW they are having their privacy stolen by their devices. It can be, and has, been used to arrest women talking about healthcare in their own home alone.
Maybe a cardboard police officer needs to put on display with just this message across the chest, for dorms? Places were privacy might be appreciated. The ACLU might help.
Hmmm maybe there is needed a 1st and 4th ammendment version of smart devices. Ha. That would change tech. A mandated requirement to protect information
@kevinrns @jgilbert @graydon Siri does not retain audio recordings unless you specifically opt in to a quality improvement program. (Apple doubled down on privacy in 2019 after they were called out over it.) Newer idevices (this is rather more recent than 2019) process voice requests on-device, rather than sending them to a server.

I would trust Alexa, Google, Facebook, etc., as far as I could throw an Amazon server farm.
I dont have enough confidence to comment, but glad its being addressed even in only public relations.
I have pressed for an Awards program run by privacy orgs, digital rights orgs, to give out prizes for devices and software that dont report back to builders on its use.
Devices that are a friend, not a police officer.
Thanks Charlie.
@kevinrns @cstross @jgilbert @graydon Apple are masters of spin, and have repeatedly been deceitful regarding privacy on their devices. Whether it's the "do-not-track" button which still lets you be tracked by apple or apple's access to supposedly "encrypted" files on icloud: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/19/opinion/apple-iphone-privacy.html
There is no way to check their claims due to their walled gardens. They are surveillance capitalists just like the others. There is no privacy without exclusive and full control of your devices.
