Yes, but if you carry around a smartphone it’s kind of a moot point

That's what I tell people when they ask how I can stand having an Echo listening to me in my house -- and then he took out his phone and used Siri to look up the privacy problems. He didn't understand the irony even when I pointed it out.

Well I'm unhappy about cellphone tracking too.

Why is that problem justification for bending over to the expanding surveillance state?

You can be unhappy about it, but don't use Siri on your phone to tell my why an Echo in my livingroom is the problem.
