I think he’s breaking some etiquette rules, but good for him.

Sometimes it’s not user friendly, other times it’s not friendly users.

More likely it’s doing what Amazon has made it do. So, probably audio recordings and any other sensor data and metrics they can gather

I agree this is likely the culprit. Having read the article though, he seems “sure it’s not spying”.

Now that I’ve read it, my question stands.

The guy reporting the issue is a pretty well respected tech YouTuber who helped invent Microsoft Task Manager, so I feel like he’d know to check for that, but it was never explicitly mentioned.

Hopefully he figures it out and does a follow up, I’m curious now.

is this an Echo issue or are these people unwitting members of a botnet?
