Brad Linder<p>With just a few week's notice, Amazon is telling folks with Echo devices that the setting that lets smart speakers &amp; displays process Alexa requests locally is disappearing. Starting March 28 all requests will be recorded and sent to Amazon's cloud servers, whether you're using Alexa+ or just plain old Alexa. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Amazon</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AmazonEcho" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmazonEcho</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Alexa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alexa</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a> <a href="http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/03/everything-you-say-to-your-echo-will-be-sent-to-amazon-starting-on-march-28/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://</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></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Since Amazon announced plans for a generative AI version of Alexa, we were concerned about user privacy. With Alexa+ rolling out to Amazon Echo 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 command 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/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><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></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Amazon</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Alexa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alexa</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AmazonEcho" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmazonEcho</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Privacy</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Surveillance</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DataProtection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DataProtection</span></a></p>
Christian Pietsch<p>Wenn ihr mir folgt, habt ihr wahrscheinlich kein <em>Amazon Echo</em> in Hörweite stehen. Wer sowas kauft, hat ganz sicher die Kontrolle über sein Leben verloren. Das Gerät hat nicht umsonst mehrere <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/BigBrotherAwards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigBrotherAwards</span></a> »gewonnen«.</p><p>Aber vielleicht kennt ihr ja Leute, die sich selbst was vormachten und dachten, sie seien auf der sicheren Seite, wenn sie anklicken, dass der <em>Echo</em> (Dot/Spot) die Spracherkennung selbst machen soll, statt alle Tonaufzeichnungen in die Amazon-Cloud zu schicken. Tja, diese Option schaltet Amazon Ende des Monats ab.
