I call B.S.
Why?
It has been normal for decades to send audio from "private areas." Phones, for example. Cell phones now mean you send audio from nearly any location with cell service.
I expect that Amazon respects my privacy, according to their own statements and terms of service. Activating the sending of information is only done intentionally, with the use of a trigger word that I don't otherwise use. This is no different than pressing a button on a computer, or dialing a phone number on my phone.
The expectation of privacy does not change just because I have a device with a microphone, at least from a legal perspective.
Obviously, this still requires trusting the service provider, government, etc.
