Alexa has been caught numerous times in the past

  At least they were transparent about having a mic that's always listening. Google sneaked a microphone in some speaker device trojan-horse style, enabling it only when lots of such speakers were already deployed. Sneaky.

    Agreed Google’s is as much to blame. But listening to you and being kind enough to tell us doesn’t make Amazon innocent

      It doesn't. They're just not the only evil ones, and thus I find it's wrong to use such a title. Either call them all out or none. "Always-listening voice assistant" would have worked well in place of Alexa.
