On parle souvent de téléphones qui écouteraient nos conversations pour cibler les publicités, mais à ma connaissance, cela n’a jamais été prouvé et relève plutôt d’une légende urbaine.

Par contre, à partir du 28 mars, toutes les conversations avec Alexa via les appareils Amazon Echo seront automatiquement envoyées aux serveurs cloud d’Amazon pour traitement !

Je pensais que c’était déjà le cas depuis longtemps :-)

ZDNET · Votre smartphone vous écoute-t-il ? Essayez ce simple test pour le savoir - ZDNETVous est-il déjà arrivé d'avoir une conversation et de voir rapidement arriver une publicité pour un produit que vous aviez mentionné ? Cette astuce simple vous aidera à déterminer s'il s'agit d'une simple coïncidence. Ou de quelque chose de plus important.

That feeling you get when you've LITERALLY (as in literally literally) spent YEARS (as in, ever since they first shipped) telling people not to install Amazon #Echo (or any similar device) in their homes because they are enormous #privacy risks…

… only to be ignored by nearly everyone…

… and now those same people who ignored you are going around telling everyone else to throw away their privacy hole devices.

That feeling? Annoyed doesn't BEGIN to describe it. 😠😠😠😠

You might as well throw your Echo and Alexa-powered devices in the trash like you should have done years ago.

And this factoid:

"Congress hasn't passed a consumer #privacy law since 1988, when the Video Privacy Protection Act banned video store clerks from disclosing which VHS cassettes you brought home."

After Amazon's news this week,
I feel the need to share this advice from my Privacy Guides article again:

Notify guests if you are
using a smart speaker 🔇

If you are using a smart speaker device in your home such as Amazon's Echo (Alexa), Apple's HomePod (Siri), Google's Nest,

Inform your guests about it when they enter your home ⚠️

These devices have the capacity
to record all conversations, and there has already been instances of accidental privacy invasion reported about this 🔓

Even if you don't mind yourself,
offer your guests to UNPLUG your smart speaker while they are visiting you 🔌

Starting on March 28, Echo users will no longer be able to set their devices to process Alexa requests locally and, therefore, avoid sending voice recordings to Amazon’s cloud. In other words, everything you say to your Echo will be sent to Amazon. @ArsTechnica reports:
