I think those that have Alexa devices don't care that much about privacy anyway. Those that do care about it probably have no Alexa devices.
If such networks kills the industry of lawyers hunting copyright infringements, I have no problem with that.
- wang_li 5y agoSidewalk is very low bandwidth. I doubt anyone is going to use it for piracy so as to be able to create reasonable doubt.
- linuxftw 5y agoSure, today maybe. I'm sure the ToS state explicitly they're free to do whatever they want in the future, without prior notice to you.
- raxxorrax 5y agoTrue. I have developed some skills and IOT integration for Alexa, so I have quite a collection of devices. So maybe with my array of echo dots...

- lxgr 5y agoAmazon's traffic is essentially forwarded through a VPN, so there should never be any liability concerns. On a technical level, it's not even IP forwarding but rather some heavily tunneled and encrypted protocol stack, and I doubt that it's possible to get the IP of a forwarding Sidewalk device.
- raxxorrax 5y agoThat was my thinking here. Probably it isn't possible for security reasons but it would also need to be artificially exposed. This could all be very nice tech, if it wasn't for surveillance ambitions and too curious corporations. If I were Jeff Bezos, I totally would use it.
