one would argue that when you voluntarily install a device that listens to unauthenticated verbal requests, you pretty much consent to everything.
In other words, people who buy alexa and ghome do not get to complain about unauthorized use, or privacy for that matter.
- Spivak 9y agoUnauthenticated != Authorized And for that matter Authenticated != Authorized Whether you can do something is orthogonal to whether you're allowed to do it.
- bfred_it 9y agoCorrect. Example: this user logged into my service. Let's try to log into gmail with the same password. It worked. I'm authenticated, but not authorized.
