This is great.

Probably most HN users know that, of course, if someone buys an Alexa and keeps it in their home, it is going to have a bunch of audio recordings of them. And all of the Whole Foods transactions will be logged as well. And even a silly amount info about how they use the Kindle.

But I don't think most Twitter users know.

I also enjoy that there is a tweet about how to request your data from Amazon, here: https://twitter.com/AlinaUtrata/status/1485196120997478404

Next I wonder if Amazon will badger Twitter to take down the tweet on the basis it has some PII (which I'm not even sure it does, but if it does, it is the users own information. And afaik you can't dox yourself.)
