Amazon is pulling the plug on a key privacy feature for its Echo and Fire TV devices, ensuring that every command spoken to Alexa will soon be transmitted to the company’s cloud servers. The change, detailed in an email sent to customers on March 14, eliminates the “Do Not Send Voice Recordings” option, which allowed some Echo devices to process requests locally without uploading audio to Amazon. Starting March 28, this shift will affect all Echo speakers, smart displays, and Fire TV units, aligning with the rollout of Alexa+, a generative AI-powered subscription assistant—and sparking fresh concerns over user privacy.

Your phone, your TV, your rumba, your siri, your ring camera...everything goes back to a 3rd party server (and to the chinese servers for your social credit score that china keeps on EVERY person in the world, just not chinese) for data management.
