Yeah cause a hardware company wants to sell you hardware.

Google and Amazon wants to spy on you.

Other than that one time when Bose was caught collecting the listening habits of its customers and sharing it with an advertising/marketing company.

I don't agree with Amazon selling Rekognition to law enforcement, and I don't agree with their warehouse conditions. I do know many folks who are at Amazon who work on hardware and software for Alexa. The Amazon bit isn't true. There isn't anything nefarious going on. It's really easy to jump on this bandwagon and crap all over these companies. You don't really know what you're talking about. I think Amazon is legit wrong on some things, and people who work there agree with me actually. But again, your claims about Alexa are conspiracy crap like you hear on Alex Jones.

You may be right but you missed the point. Amazon "could" start spying on you with a flip of a switch and there is no guarantee it will never happen. Even if their intentions were pure, they can be easily subpoenaed to do nasty stuff.
