Lol. Washington Post got 18 million dollar contract from CIA....7th floor. Epitome of Fake News

I believe you mean 600 million

The last time Bezos got a huge contract from the CIA guess what came out? The Alexa device. That thing that sits in peoples house listening for your commands. Sketchy as fuck

I'd put big money on the fact that "Alexa" listens for certain keywords and records back to CIA or NSA on those conversations. It sounds far fetched but knowing how they operate and their motives it would fit perfectly.

It's not far-fetched at all. https://theintercept.com/2015/05/05/nsa-speech-recognition-snowden-searchable-text/

There have been hints in the media about voice recognition keyword based surveillance since the late 1990s.

Your newer smart phones have voice recognition software which is very reliable. The IC need only leverage that and vast data processing capabilities (which it has) to conduct surveillance on a hitherto unimaginable scale. George Orwell was an optimist.
