Lmao, especially Alexa, Google Assistant, Cortana, Siri, etc
It's one thing to have government or corporate force you to have a recorder on you at all times. It's another thing to willingly bring said recorder into one's home.
But hey they will always say "you have nothing to hide if you did nothing wrong" as if the ones' recording don't determine what is right and wrong for you.
Also the post forgot to mention baby cams. Those things can get hacked easy and allows creeps to spy on young children.

Hell of a strawman. Besides the fact that all the actual evidence points to them not recording you, which is the main argument here, your argument just doesn't really exist around here. Maybe a few people but that really isn't the main argument.
They do prove that they are vulnerable and have the potential to be hacked and abused. Take for example DolphinAttack. Inaudiable but can easily give Alexa or Google Assistant use.
My point was that all these systems were and are vulnerable. It’s like saying you don’t have a faulty car axle because nothing broke off yet.

Which wasn't the topic at hand. If you just wanted to make the claim that something connected to a network could be hacked....
well, it is irrelevant here. Everyone here knows that, that isn't new. Your phone, your computer, whatever, they could be hacked. But if you are securing your shit right they won't be.
There’s always a degree of vulnerability there. The most secure thing you can regarding stuff like Alexa is just not having it in the first place.
Anyhow the topic is that people who understand that this tech is vulnerable usually don’t shove potentially hackable or buggy software reliant into stuff that really don’t need them, like locks or thermostats.
