Everything is listening.
A few weeks ago, some kid told me she was getting ads for Mt. Dew on her devices, because I talked about Mt. Dew in class So we did a test. I had all of them open their computers/turn on their phones/turn up the volume. Then I went on a speech about buying a sawhorse. (random object) It took about 12 hours for ads for home improvement stores to start showing up on students ads and devices. THEY ARE LISTENING!!!!! THEY ARE ALL CONNECTED!!!!! |

You would basically have to become a Ted Kaczynski. Move to the mountains, live off the land and cut off all contact with other humans. |

Apple, on the other hand isn't a clear about when the data is sent, but is very clear about the usage of such data. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210657 In summary, there is a lot of paranoia about smart devices eavesdropping on your conversations. From my own experiences with these devices, as both a developer and a user, this just isn't true. I've run Wireshark several times to monitor and intercept packets for debugging. Voice data is only sent after the device has been awoken using that device's wake word. |

Have you ever done a packet capture on an echo or dot? We did a couple years ago, and those things are transmitting data nonstop (and not just to amazon owned IPs), even when you think they are "idle".
Its like a marketing person's wet dream to have that in your home. EDIT: Nevermind, I see this has already been discussed. |

This wasn't simple heartbeat stuff, it was streams of outbound traffic.

Correct. The Echo Show is constantly pulling data. It doesn't push a lot of data though unless you're using it. It's also a traditional "web" host so it has traffic patterns similar to a web browser in there, too.
