I absolutely think it does.
I have also bought an Amazon Echo, but I unplug it when it's out of use for extended periods of time.
I wouldn't purchase a similar product from Facebook, because I trust Amazon with my personal data more than Facebook.
I've never purchased a Smart TV that contains a microphone.
Just because I make some decisions you disagree with in balancing my privacy and convenience trade-offs doesn't mean I should be prevented from making those decisions at all.
- reaperducer 8y agoI have also bought an Amazon Echo, but I unplug it when it's out of use for extended periods of time. I was given a Google Home for Christmas, and won't even take it out of the box. I'd give it away, but that not really solving the problem. I've never purchased a Smart TV that contains a microphone. My LG has one in the remote control. But I disallowed the TV from my home wifi about a year ago. I don't trust LG, and looking through the 53 screens of Terms of Service LG thinks need to agree to just to watch TV, I probably did the right thing.

- Baeocystin 8y agoI power my echo through a smart plug. Works great... assuming there isn't a hidden mic in the plug. :D
