There is no privacy in home, and that's exactly what you want, to track our every tap, thought and utterance when using Alexa or any of your spyware.
> Health data is encrypted in transit and in the cloud
I feel PR pieces like this have given up even trying, and they only add that entire section reluctantly. I'd respect technologists more if they just openly admitted that this data is tracked, collected, processed and used for ads or other metrics and possibly collected by law enforcement or other purposes.
I mean, there was huge backlash against Ring cameras for working with the police, so absolutely nobody can trust anything that even remotely connects to the internet.
What they should say:
Truly private and encrypted: All data is stored locally, on device, and will never be transmitted via the internet. Using a free, open source application, you can transfer all the data to your own, secure offline storage. No data will be transmitted to Amazon, the cloud, or any other third party. Not even us can access your data.
But, as we know, that is never going to happen as far as Amazon is concerned, they want to track every second of your life in billions of datapoints; how often you blink, how many steps you take, your every interaction within the world.
They won't be happy until as much of our lives is being recorded by them as possible.
Fuck Amazon.
