The extraordinary claim requiring extraordinary evidence is the idea that Big Tech companies are not spying on you any time they can.

Ah, so Amazon needs to prove a negative, now. I get the lack of trust, but at some point logic has to prevail.

That's pretty easy, just open source it.

Never mind "proving", there are plenty of low-effort steps they could take to foster trust (as outlined elsewhere in this thread) that they choose not to do. They choose not to meet even the bare minimum.

We are in a thread that is literally about how Amazon plans to disable the option to not send voice recordings. I get playing devil's advocate, but at some point logic has to prevail, eh?
