> While I agree with you, I think I am starting to suffer from a kind of "privacy violation revelations fatigue". I have read the article and thought "so here is another gimmick that steals away a bit of my privacy, so what? no big deal". And that's scary. Is it though? To be honest, this article is pretty light on substance. I read through it all because the guy is a good writer, but the only revelation here is him realizing the microphone device he put in his kitchen is... gasp, listening to him. If it turned out Amazon was actually recording and storing everything, that would be quite the revelation. If it turned out your data wasn't being deleted when Amazon said it was, that would be quite the revelation. Otherwise, there's just not a lot here other than a semi-humorous story about accidentally insulting a robot.
