> I see you failed to provide an actual way of stopping children from accessing Alexa. Why don't you inform us all on how that will done?

By not having an Alexa. At least not in the current state of affairs, I'm on the camp that always-on voice assistants need to be regulated before they invade the privacy of every home in the planet.

If your product is not good enough to be used safely by your expected customers then it shouldn't exist, I'm not Amazon and I don't have all the man-years power of thousands of engineer to think about a solution to this problem, I have a moral stance where I don't think this technology should be pushed the way it is, as an unfinished piece of shit that serves the purpose of collecting data, if there is an instance where it's been shown to be dangerous then it shouldn't be on the market, it's pretty simple.

I work in tech and I'm really fucking tired of getting unfinished products pushed to market so corporations (and their product managers) can use humans as guinea pigs for big tech to experiment on... Really, really tired.

Don't like your tone, won't really engage further.

So, your idea is force people not to buy Alexa? You want a law that bans Alexa from the market? Good luck.

Here's a novel idea. Don't buy it. You don't get to decide for other people.

What you don't like is that I called you out on your bs.

Nah, just really tired of engaging with libertarians pushing the bullshit line of "personal responsibility" to every single issue.

Alexa is marketed towards kids as well, parents can't control every single instance a kid will interact with Alexa therefore Amazon regulates Alexa either by goodwill or by force of regulations. Guess which one is compatible with capitalism? As you said, we shouldn't rely on the goodwill of corporations ;)

Godspeed, Ayn Rand acolyte.
