That doesn't seem like very useful advice.
Don't visit any of your friends who have bought it.
Don't go out in public.
Don't be a part of society.
Don't even SMS or email anyone since they might have one too.
The fight to reduce surveillance must happen even when the people who are fighting for privacy don't purchase the products that everyone else buys. If 99% of people have bought Google Home in the future, what good does it do to tell someone "hurr durr don't buy it?" No good at all.

- electic 10y agoThis episode is a good learning experience for these people about the dangers of having an all listening microphone in your house. The best thing we can do, is keep educating people. The one thing we can do is create something like UL/Consumer reports for privacy. It is desperately needed. People automatically check this site to see what the exposure is of having a certain device in your home. I hope this comes to pass.
