They have very good business reasons to do this.
If they do end up giving out the data they will most probably face a severe dip in sales as most people (even those who aren't that privacy focused) will be scared of buying it.
I've been putting off buying one of these devices (Echo/Google Home, etc) just becasue I dont like someone listening to me all the time. But I'm usually a bit paranoid about privacy.
- pc86 10y agoI'm not sold on Alexa personally. I can guarantee with 100% certainty that if this case moves against Amazon I will never knowingly be in the vicinity of one of these devices. Not because I plan on killing someone, but because of the litany of privacy implications. If it goes the other way, I might get one because I think it would be useful but I'm still very worried about the privacy aspect, and I know my wife would be more lax than I - not to mention I don't want to have to be vigilant about every comment I make in my own home.
