Next, I seriously expect Amazon and Google at some point to turn on the microphones on all Echo and Home devices and make sure that nobody ever says anything outrageous in their private homes. Failing that, report them to the authorities, or better, doxx them with social media mobs.

Good point.
I don't use my Home device ever, but its been plugged in for so long. The other day while walking by it, I decided to just unplug it.

Why not? I put a cover over my laptop cam.
