You can control your computer's software but not Alexa's. The internet doesn't record your home via microphones and submit to FBI: https://techcrunch.com/2018/

  From the article: "Police and prosecutors generally don’t expect much evidence from Echo recordings — if any — because Echo speakers are activated with a wake word — usually “Alexa,” the name of the voice assistant." They complied with a legal order - they didn't submit it to the FBI. Do you need some more tinfoil for your hat?

    I have enough aluminum wrap at home to enforce my hat. If you read it carefully once again, you will see that they are RECORDING YOU AT ALL TIMES and there only a piece of paper from the government is stopping then from sharing it with others.

      > If you read it carefully once again Frankly I'm baffled at how you could be as confused as you claim to be.

        I didn't have a chance to meet wise gurus like the ones on HN.
