JP 3-13.3 OPSEC doctrine defines a Critical Information List — data whose disclosure degrades operational security. Your home has one too.

Every smart speaker expands that CIL to a corporate entity you never vetted. Bedroom. Home office. Kitchen. Each room is a compartment. Each speaker collapses it.

Hoepman's SEPARATE strategy: isolate actors from their data proxies. The fix is removing the device from sensitive contexts entirely.

Apply need-to-know at the room level. Your home office — work calls, finances, health discussions — has no operational reason to be audible to an Amazon server. Physically separate listening devices from high-sensitivity contexts.
