Amazon devices will soon automatically share your Internet with neighbors
“If you use Alexa, Echo, or many other Amazon devices, you have only 10 days until you’re opted in to an experiment that leaves your personal privacy and security hanging in the balance.”
I’ve no desire for a smart home and I won’t allow devices like these in my house. The only run-in I’ve had with these things was an Airbnb rental. We took our luggage in the bedroom and there sat an Amazon Echo Dot. Not the kitchen, not the living area, in the BEDROOM. I unplugged it. Now I don’t trust the place. Looking around for the Wi-Fi I discovered it was in a locked closet. I used a credit card to open the lock and unplugged it too. Then I used the Wi-Fi Analyzer Android app to make sure I got everything.

Have any of you done this? Are you concerned about the privacy issues?

I purchased a trail cam a month ago. Since then I’ve been testing it. It is currently mounted to a post at the bottom of my front porch steps. Sometimes I’ll leave a snack to see what shows up.
