@ErickaSimone Amazon and Google also store everything you and anyone else says before and after requests to their personal assistants, do their best to identify each person, and hang onto it indefinitely. Admittedly, I have seen one instance where these recordings were used to convict a husband of domestic abuse. So... maybe there's a discussion to be had around that. But I personally won't have those products in my house.

@chartier @ErickaSimone I think the problem with this and DNA being used to identify criminals is that the law doesn't lay out the proper use of these things. How do we know that DNA or the recordings are kept safe and our privacy protected otherwise?

@chartier They never did and we've never had much law. All someone has to do is make a wild accusation and the white people go to work to destroy lives.

@chartier the article does seem to make plain the two companies approach that policy pretty differently?

Every time I see someone using a phone to pay for something, I wonder how dumb can a person get.
