Amazon Says It Has Over 10k Employees Working on Alexa, Echo

The Alexa devices don't have the hardware within to do that. People have torn them down and looked. People have also constructed their own devices (rpi with a mic) to mimic the same functionality and it's consuming the same sort of bandwidth.

Now, of course, nothing will ever placate the conspiracy nitwits.

Thanks for the answer.

I don't see how there's a conspiracy here. Questioning the intentions and actions of an actor that could very likely be hostile to the user is reasonable and has precident.
