Unfortunately privacy laws have been slow to keep up with the pace of technology -- press your legislative representatives on this because they are the ones who set the laws. Sometimes, when you don't pay $s for an app, the "price" you pay for the convenience of having it is to provide some information about yourself, such as your email address. As always, it's your choice. If you don't want to give up certain pieces of information about yourself, or you are concerned that hackers will steal your information or that a business won't use the information they have on you in an ethical way then it is your choice to forgo the convenience and not use the technology. (Though in some cases you may be left in the dust by the rest of society that does choose to use it.) But it's your choice, of course!

On Android phones each app has multiple permissions which you can accept or deny. It does take a bit of effort, but I dent access for areas an app doesn't have a reason to need access to. For instance, photos and email for most apps. Location for many apps and the list goes on. If an app will not work without a permission I don't see a reason it needs access to I look for an equivalent app that is not as nosy and failing that make the decision of how much I really want that app.

For most apps these "requested permissions" are not as nefarious as it may seem. Still, use good judgement and if you're not comfortable, don't install the app. |

Absolutely right. Who cares? I am not that interesting.

Just last week, honey and I were interrupted from our romantic interlude by an insistent knocking at the front door.
Finally, I threw on some clothes, marched across the house, threw open the door and was met my two policeman. "We received a call from Amazon, your Alexa detected someone beating their spouse." Oh my! |

Even Alexa did listen to every conversation , we caught it manytimes. I disable my siri and delete google app because it snoop on my activity even I am not using the app. If you go to google setting and disable the activity stuff still it goes back on itself. So , I deleted it. If i do shopping on Amazon app and when I open Facebook , you bet what I bought in Amazon it is in my newsfeed ads. So I deleted facebook since they censor everything. There is a new social media who does not censors wimkin and they don’t do what facebook does.

If I get tired of boring computer ads I just go to Victoria's Secrets site. Then I get to look at beautiful ladies for the next several days.
