This is obviously bad, but I think the deeper problem is with Android that it's impossible to turn off the long-home-button press behavior. The wiretapping statutes really need to be updated to cover "negligent wiretapping" and require manufacturers to provide an opt-out toggle that prevents it. Alexa speakers, of course, are surveillance devices and if you have it on it seems fair to say you have opted in.

What do you mean that it's impossible to turn off the long-home-button press behavior? I've always hated long-pressing home by mistake, so I always prevent it from doing anything at all. Maybe it's because I use a different home app though.
