Why am I scared of Alexa?

[ugochuku]

You're scared because you want to use Alexa but you do not trust it. If that's the the, don't get it.

Soon enough, people who own Alexa, Alexa would know more about them than say their friends or family.

Well, this is a very common rumor, and I also asked such questions. From a technical point, they can overhear something and transmit information to third parties, but now almost every device has such opportunities, but you shouldn’t be worried or enter into paranoia, rather, no one needs it your information, unless you are a terrorist or something like that

One thing I don't get is why are you people buying it?
Like, are you so lazy to Google things for yourself?
Or are you participating in this "chain" effect?

I SEE THOUSANDS being scared of this device yet buying it.
I don't know guys, I don't control your life but clearly you don't
control it either

I stopped using most corporations-owned platforms and this is why now I understand why projects like Virternity, which are independent, are gaining ground.
