Sadly, that's what we do with phones, cars, tvs, etc
Fortunately, there are solutions to each of those:
- phones - alternative Android ROMs and fdroid
- cars - remove the connectivity module
- TVs - don't let it access your network and don't use the apps
That's not true for Alexa, you need to allow it to spy for its core functionality to work.
Yeap I'm just saying it's sadly all too common
I'm actually degoogling at the moment precisely because of all this
