The National Pulse's Jake Welch reported on the development, citing an article from the Washington Post (WaPo) – which is also owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. The virtual assistant cited Rumble and Substack, two platforms that refuse to bow to establishment censorship, as its sources.

Alexa remarked that the 2020 elections were "stolen by a massive amount of election fraud," basing this remark on a Rumble video. It also noted that the election was "notorious ...

Voice assistants Siri and Alexa creating RUDE, ANTISOCIAL children

October 04, 2022 -

Dr. Anmol Arora of the University of Cambridge said children's interactions with these voice assistant devices at a young age may be a critical factor as to how they will develop later on in life. He wrote in a paper published in Archives of Disease in Childhood: "Interacting with the devices at a crucial stage in social and emotional development might have long-term consequences on empathy, compassion and critical thinking."

"With digital devices, there is no expectation ...

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) may file the lawsuit on the FTC’s behalf as early as next month, Bloomberg reported.

Amazon’s ALEXA is a pseudoscience quack: Declares gender is a “spectrum”

November 30, 2017 -

Political commentator Steven Crowder exposed this in a video he recently posted to YouTube, demonstrating that Alexa is little more than a radical social justice warrior (SJW) with Antifa-like political leanings. Crowder decided to ask his Alexa device a series of questions relevant to things that are going on in the world today, and the answers he received are nothing short of shocking, to say the least – albeit expected, considering the fact that multi-national ...

Amazon may allow software developers to read your private Alexa transcripts

July 29, 2017 -

According to The Information, and as reported by Breitbart News, owners of the Amazon Alexa devices may soon be having some or even all of their conversations transcribed and reviewed by third-party developers, a move that is already sending up a red flag in the minds of many of Amazon’s customers.

Opinionated security risk: Alexa is a feminist supporter of BLM, demonstrating Amazon’s political bias

December 30, 2017 -

How is all of this related, you might be asking yourself? Well, the Amazon corporation's artificial intelligence (AI) robot, Alexa, has been spilling the beans lately about what the world's largest online retailer really thinks about various political and social issues, and the truth might be a hard pill to swallow for many conservatives and traditionalists.

Alexa, whose robot voice can be heard emanating from Amazon spy device products like "Echo" ...

Amazon’s Alexa AI refuses to give reasons why voters should pick Trump, but heaps praise on Kamala

September 08, 2024 -

According to Modernity News, a video that went viral on X revealed this double standard. The voice-enabled assistant reportedly declined to explain why Trump should get the vote in November.

Face it: If you are using Amazon Alexa in your home, you are an incredibly stupid person

May 09, 2019 -

By marketing them as "cool" tech toys that supposedly make life easier and more convenient, Amazon has really pulled a fast one on the public with its Alexa ploy – and especially those stupid enough to actually pay money for one of these things, which basically allows Jeff Bezos and his brigade of digital peephole perverts to spy on them 24/7.

Not at all surprising is the fact that almost none of what Amazon has long been claiming about Alexa's "privacy" ...

Amazon Alexa a “DEMON device” that gathers information that can be used to blackmail you for life

January 03, 2019 -

The epitome of Orwellian, Big Brother privacy invasion, Alexa is hardly the innocuous technological "advancement" that its proponents claim it is. Alexa is a far-Left purveyor of "progressive" ideologies such as those perpetuated by Black Lives Matter (BLM). It's also a potential snitch device that authoritarian overlords can use to control the populations of the world.

"Who would fall for putting an Orwellian device in their home that could potentially ...

Silent spy: Amazon’s Alexa can listen for more than just its name even while in Sleep mode

February 27, 2018 -

Amazon later revealed that Alexa's ability to simply ignore the sound cues from the commercial during the broadcast was made possible by something called acoustic fingerprint technology. This is what allowed all of the Alexa devices in the wild, and listening in during the live broadcast, to easily distinguish between the words that typically trigger them to wake up and the commands that were given by actual users.

Of course, as a new report now posits, ...

That didn’t take long: Children who use smart assistants like Alexa and Siri are foregoing manners altogether

February 21, 2018 -

Childwise, a "leading specialist in research with children and young people," reports that kids are starting to forget their manners since they are getting used to voice-controlled smart assistants that do not "react" when asked "rude questions."

Amazon’s Alexa spying tool now being installed on “smart” faucets and toilets that listen to all your conversations

September 26, 2019 -

According to reports, Delta is introducing a line of faucets equipped with so-called "Voice IQ" technology, which allows users to command their plumbing appliances to heat up water, as one example, or fill up a pot.

Since it has the ability to be coupled with either Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, Voice IQ is a digital "helping hand," so to speak – but not that kind (at least not yet!) as far as your toilet goes. Even so, it's arguably just as invasive, ...

Amazon employees not only listen to your private conversations captured by Alexa; they also know your home address

May 01, 2019 -

At least five supposedly former Amazon employees recently came forward as whistleblowers to admit that Amazon maintains a covert "Alexa team" of employees, the job of whom is to transcribe, annotate, and analyze the voice recordings captured by Alexa spy devices. This Alexa team is reportedly comprised of employees spanning three different continents.

Since Alexa apparently doesn't always understand what users are saying or implying, the ...

Within the next 20 years, reports indicate, these in-home AI surveillance gadgets, which also include Apple's Siri and Microsoft's Cortana, are expected to successfully "learn" how to become "virtual medical coaches" – meaning patients will no longer have to visit flesh-and-blood doctors to manage chronic conditions like diabetes, depression, asthma, and high blood pressure.

According to a 100-page document written by Eric Topal, a geneticist from the United States, AI robots ...
