Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for June 03, 2021

Bezo’s clowns hear all and know all about you.

Never had one. Don’t want one. Same for the idiot doorbell camera and the other similar devices that allow indiscriminate snooping on a wide scale both inside and outside one’s home, but which also allow digital snoops to do the same. Not quite a Luddite but a very skeptical user.

Big Brother is listening.

The smaller your internet “footprint,” the less likely you are to get hacked. It’s bad enough that I have to deal with possible intruders on my desktop; I don’t need to invite them into other parts of my home.

I just read about “Sidewalk” Amazon is putting in a networking device to broadcast 1/2 mile from your house so anyone walking by can monitor you. Ring and Alexa want everyone to know what you do and say.

At least she’s not giggling at you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8phGxzUC_Y

You ASKED FOR IT!

Let’s face it, she’s reading the ads in whatever is being read and sending those ads to your phones and computers.

Alexa, how high can you count?

…and, it wasn’t sex, he was just tickling me!

I always set Alexa to whisper mode.

Time to get out of the house, Ma’am!

Nephew has an Alexa that he swears is spying on him… hears it cough sometimes… but still never turns it off…

I always chuckle at the ad where he hollers at the burglar and he runs away. Not in my neighborhood!

My phone listens to me. I can be talking about something with my boyfriend. When I search something on my phone, what we were talking about is the first thing that comes up. I REALLY don’t like that! Shades of Kafka’s 1984.

Privacy on the internet, that’s an Oxymoron.
