You're not paranoid-- its common sense. We have ABSOLUTELY no control over these devices we're inviting into our homes. We are voluntarily paying for a surveillance apparatus that can be turned against us at any moment.
Even if you believe Apple/Google/Amazons intentions are honorable-- these devices will be attacked by every intelligence agency. It is an act of insanity to but this stuff.
- dpark 9y ago> We have ABSOLUTELY no control over these devices we're inviting into our homes This is rather alarmist since I control both the power and internet supply to any smart devices I bring into my home. I have much less control over my phone than my Echo.
- IntronExon 9y agoI can root my phone and monitor outgoing traffic. If I unplug my smart speaker it’s a brick with zero functionality. I have a range of options with my phone, I have binary options with an Echo or similar device.
- dpark 9y agoYou can root your phone and believe you’re monitoring outgoing traffic. Your phone hardware could easily be surreptitiously sending data over 4G and you would likely be unable to verify. Also why do you imagine that an echo is fundamentally unable to be rooted?
