There was some talk lower in the thread about devices being able to form mesh-networks with other devices that do have internet connection (for ex. your neighbour) and share data that way, there hasn't been any links or sources to the claims yet however

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Sidewalk

> Amazon stated that more than 90% of the U.S. population was covered by the Sidewalk network.

> Amazon Echo devices have Sidewalk enabled by default and do not inform their owner about it.

I mean, I remember people saying similar things about Google scanning Wi-Fi SSIDs to track their location. There was a point in time where people were saying that was conspiracy theory thinking.
