The concern that others are listening is mainly fore the purposes of data
mining. Which might be sold to third party advertisers. Though, I suspect, if
you were telling another person about your sensitive information required for
government forms, and you told them bank account information, for example.
Listening devices might be a concern.

I actually wouldn’t like to be without mine now though, of course, I lived
perfectly happily before she came along. Martin got an Amazon Smart Plug for
his birthday, and while I initially thought these things were gimmicks, have to
say we’ve put it in a hard-to-reach place and find the allure of the A lady
very useful to turn it on and off.
Kind regards,

I don’t deny that if left to my own devices, I could be persuaded to invest
in an Amazon Echo and would fight my corner, but in truth, at this moment in
time I can’t see that it does a lot which I can’t achieve via my iPhone.
I can see it could be fun but not exactly essential.
And if the Russians are listening via Siri, they are likely to die of boredom!

Hi Alison,
It is not the Russian your husband should be worried about in this case as it
is not them who would be listening *smile*. Until this morning, I shared your
husband’s sentiment. I too did not want one of those speakers in my home,
certainly not in our bedroom! Then, while I was reading this thread earlier, it
suddenly dawned on me, that Siri has already been eavesdropping on every breath
of mine for quite a long time now *smile*. So I might as well give up.
