Everything you say to your Echo will be sent to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Amazon</span></a> starting on March 28</p><p>By Scharon Harding, March 14, 2025</p><p>"Since Amazon announced plans for a generative <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AI</span></a> version of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Alexa" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Alexa</span></a>, we were concerned about user privacy. With Alexa+ rolling out to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmazonEcho" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AmazonEcho</span></a> devices in the coming weeks, we’re getting a clearer view at the privacy concessions people will have to make to maximize usage of the AI voice assistant and avoid bricking functionality of already-purchased devices.</p><p>"In an email sent to customers today, Amazon said that Echo users will no longer be able to set their devices to process Alexa requests locally and, therefore, avoid sending voice recordings to Amazon’s cloud. Amazon apparently sent the email to users with 'Do Not Send Voice Recordings' enabled on their Echo. Starting on March 28, recordings of everything spoken to the Alexa living in Echo speakers and smart displays will automatically be sent to Amazon and processed in the cloud."</p><p><a href="https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/03/everything-you-say-to-your-echo-will-be-sent-to-amazon-starting-on-march-28/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/0</span><span class="invisible">3/everything-you-say-to-your-echo-will-be-sent-to-amazon-starting-on-march-28/</span></a><br /><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigBrother" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BigBrother</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Orwell" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Orwell</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigTechBrosAreWatchingYou" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BigTechBrosAreWatchingYou</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigBrotherIsListeningToYou" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BigBrotherIsListeningToYou</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NineteenEightyFour" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NineteenEightyFour</span></a></p>
