You really think somebody would do that? Just go on the internet and tell people to electrocute themselves?

- cassianoleal 5y agoI assume you don't have kids of your own, or much experience with them in general. At the age of 10 people are incredibly suggestionable. If this kid has a positive view of Amazon Alexa he/she might trust it implicitly.
- unethical_ban 5y agoThat would be a negligent action on the parent, to let a child trust a voice device or the Internet in general.
- emodendroket 5y agoChildren don't come out of the womb with the faculties of adults.
- mindslight 5y agoYeah, which is one major reason why you don't bring corporate surveillance devices that read the cesspool of the Internet in a friendly voice into your home.
- emodendroket 5y agoWell, we could argue till the cows come home about what things kids should or should not be exposed to, but the guy I was replying to suggested you should have just educated your children to know what things to believe or not believe, which doesn't work under a certain age.
- mindslight 5y agoI interpreted that comment in line with how I responded - by bringing a friendly sounding device into your home, you're putting your kid in the position of trusting it. Something something violent agreement talking past one another.
- unethical_ban 5y agoI suggested you don't leave a loaded gun on the counter. Seriously, the uncurated, unfiltered internet is not for small children and you put a surveillance puck with shitty parental controls up for a Q&A? Why do people expect high-quality content and curation from Alexa?
- cassianoleal 5y agoI am not disagreeing but how is that a rebuttal of what I said?
- pensatoio 5y agoI feel like some people missed the implied \s here.
- smolder 5y agoThat, or the meme just rubbed them the wrong way. Jokes are often down-voted.
- ALittleLight 5y agoI don't think top level comments should be jokes that don't contribute anything meaningful.
