Shhhh, the pitchforks are out, who needs evidence. In all reality, if you were to be wiretapped, an Alexa wouldn't be the best option. Most people already have an internet connected microphone they carry around with them everywhere. And it has multiple cameras too, which are regularly brought into the bathroom with them.

Which is basically what Snowden revealed btw (phone metadata collection, internet traffic interception, data access from tech platforms, fiber-optic cable tapping, smartphone location and metadata)

It's more than that honestly, or less, depending on the perspective. Most people share their data with "only our 900 bestliest partners" or more everyday. Every tweet, login, whatever metafata can be more valuable and easier to compute than voice or video, depending on what you are looking for.

If somebody wants to hack my camera and watch me cut a turd, who am I to deny them?
