Why?

  Because it supposedly puts people on some kind of watch list? Tho pranking with stuff like that ain't exactly the coolest thing to do: "Haha I framed you for terrorism, gotcha!"

    Yeah it’s incredibly irresponsible and not really funny at all.

      Why is it irresponsible?

        If that person does make it on to a watchlist it's wasting resources and causing them 'harm' (eg always stopped at border checks).
        • komali2 8y ago
          We always get stopped at borders anyway, what do you mean?

      I do not think this is funny, I think it's rather immature. But if things like this _actually_ trigger any sort of response, then the effed up thing isn't the (childish) prank, it's the system actually acting on nonsense. If I call the police and claim that you're armed and hold hostages, then that's irresponsible. If I shout bullshit instead and these novelty devices turn that into a web search, there's no way in hell that should have any consequences whatsoever.

    It's not illegal to search Google for how to join ISIS, last I checked. Also, Google saves all voice commands. If the NSA wants to check they'd just hear all of us doofuses giggling and trying to one up each other.

  In my friend group, we're all on watch lists anyway. I guess I should have clarified, I'm not doing this to strangers, we all do this to each other and find it hilarious.
