>They could batch up the network traffic to send later,

I was thinking that too, but realistically, someone would eventually discover this (consider how much outbound traffic would have to go at once in order to store that much audio).

>push an update that changes how much they listen after your traffic monitoring is done.

Again, someone would eventually discover this. It wouldn't be hard to constantly monitor network traffic for noticeable discrepancies in outbound activity.

Furthermore, a discovery like this would not go overlooked by the general public. Amazon would be doing a serious disservice to their reputation by going about extracting the audio in such a mischievous manner.

I can't say I agree. How long did it take for us to figure out that certain camera's were sending photos back to china? or that other apps do things that seem malicious. Many people watch those kinds of stats, but the vast majority of them don't.

Additionally, just because they have it always recorind for one person, doesn't mean they have the same software running for everyone else.
