>Amazon Key is perhaps the most outre example of this phenomenon yet. Yes, I do value convenient deliveries, but I value my security more — better to strategize around postal schedules than be assaulted by a person hiding in one’s home! And while I dislike rained-upon packages, I prioritize privacy enough that I’m loath to install a corporate-controlled surveillance apparatus inside my house. >I prioritize privacy enough that I’m loath to install a corporate-controlled surveillance apparatus inside my house. I feel like this woman's logic is inconsistent here. I can understand that you dont want a "corporate-controlled surveillance apparatus inside my house" but then why you do you carry one in your bloody pocket?! I can, with some degree of confidence, say that she owns a smartphone (probably an iPhone) which is basically the same. Personally, I think Amazon Key is really pushing the boundaries of tech and making our lives better. If you have an Amazon camera pointed at your door which the delivery guy KNOWS is being tracked by Amazon and his job is literally to deliver the package safely which is also tracked etc. etc. For this person to do something malicious the payoff should be rediculously high (i.e. steal a Monet or something) because his livelihood (i.e. job/reputation) depends on it. Now that I think of it, Amazon has the ID of the delivery driver so if the driver passes any further than the front door Alexa can basically (after a suitable warning) immediately call the police, no? I, for one, welcome our new overlords.
