(edit, meant to put this in c/technology)
If you use Alexa, Echo, or any other Amazon device, you have only 10 days to opt out of an experiment that leaves your personal privacy and security hanging in the balance.
On June 8, the merchant, Web host, and entertainment behemoth will automatically enroll the devices in Amazon Sidewalk. The new wireless mesh service will share a small slice of your Internet bandwidth with nearby neighbors who don’t have connectivity and help you to their bandwidth when you don’t have a connection.

Uhhh what foul nefarious shit is Jeff planning here?
To be able to track not only the people who buy Amazon “smart” devices, but the people who walk by their houses as well
isn't the "shared wifi" only for fellow Alexa users tho?
Just wait.
Plus how long before all of these fucking interconnected RF devices are generating live radar maps or some kind of similar information
TED WAS RIGHT
