[/quote] It is encouraging to think the crowd here at GLP feels the same as I do about how intrusive companies like Amazon are and this whole Internet of Things BS. We are so far away from the internet beginnings and what it's intended use and purpose was. Very few have any idea about such things. [/quote] 100% agreed....have been saying same and more for a long while [/quote]

On June 8th, Amazon Sidewalk will begin compromising your privacy and stealing your internet bandwidth employing
"OPT-OUT"
" as opposed to OPT-IN on all Amazon IOT devices.
That means if you haven't already opted out, on June 8th your devices will become part of an Amazon mesh network by default. And get this, You can't access the settings directly from a desktop computer unless you install the Amazon App.
The data lust of tech giants for every bit of your privacy while compromising your data security has reached a fevered pitch.
