Don't forget that Echo devices are Amazon's always-on listening devices.
- SamBam 7y agoYes, sure, but that wasn't what the comment I was replying to was talking about... This is about the difference between always-on listeners, including Echo, and stores where you buy things.
- urda 7y agoEcho's listen for their wake word, which is done on device and offline. It detects the wake word, and then connects to the internet. It is not actively transmitting in the background. If you have proof of echo devices not doing this, you need to yield a source. Wireshark logs, anything.

I suspect most of these comments are from people who don't own, haver never used, let alone sniffed traffic from those devices. They conveniently ignore all the networks (including my own) which will throw a fit if these devices start sending unusual traffic. I'll worry the day they embed a cellular modem.
