If you were actually dumb enough to put one of these listening devices in your home owned by the most powerful & greedy company on the planet you deserve to have your privacy invaded. People are fucking stupid.
i mean my brother bought them and refuses to remove them. There is no convincing him to remove them. They are in basically every room and nobody defends me when I want them gone because of convenience.
I cannot even ask for the data to be erased because it is not on my account.
Are both of you living with your parents? I would make a point to not talk when such devices are present. Or just voice order expensive shit on Amazon for his account.
So like go completely mute?
Also he uses a debit card which he only transfers money to immediately before buying stuff (so that he gets as much interest as possible)
Completely bruh. You'll do it if you care about privacy.
lmao. What about the other 'smart tech' that I disslike. When internet cut out the lights would just flash to show it was searching for wifi.
Mute and candles. Maybe find a monastery.
Completely mute would make a strong point.
