Dark Lord Announces New Spying Initiative
Briefly

Amazon is set to change its Alexa voice assistant, mandating that all voice requests be processed in the cloud, losing the option for local storage. Starting March 28, the 'Do Not Send Voice Recordings' feature will be unavailable, raising privacy concerns as customer interactions will be stored indefinitely on Amazon's servers. Although this new system will primarily affect a small percentage of users who previously had the option to opt out, it underscores ongoing issues with privacy and data handling within the Alexa platform and the company's intent to enhance its AI functionalities.
Amazon’s change to the Alexa voice assistant, mandating cloud storage of voice requests, signifies a major shift in privacy as users lose local processing options.
The decision to eliminate user opt-out of voice recording storage illustrates Amazon's disregard for privacy while leveraging customer data for enhancing AI features.
