"Right now the Echo is only listening inside of homes, so logically you can figure there's not much risk of third-party harm here."

If I visit a friend who has an Echo in their home, I'm having my conversation listened to without my consent.

I wonder if we're going to start seeing a new norm (similar to "I have you on speaker, Jane is here too") around devices with always-on voice recognition?

You head over to your friends house and they hit the mute button on their way to the door, or ask Alexa to say hi.

If you're in someone else's home you have to assume he has listening devices. He controls his house.
