Re: Again I have to ask...
"I take it anyone complaining about having one of these devices never uses anything on the internet they enter any information into. Certainly not Amazon, Google, etc."
However, there's a difference between voluntarily typing a search term into Google, using GMail, or placing an order on Amazon and having a device in the room that could be listening to anything.
When my mistress comes around for an afternoon's shenanigans* (shhh don't tell SWMBO) I wouldn't voluntarily announce it online, but who knows what Alexa might be picking up.
*as if!
