You’re getting douchevoted for speaking heresy but you’re right, Amazon only records requests and commands - i.e. what you say after “Alexa”. Every article about what Amazon actually does and doesn’t record is quickly forgotten because sinister plots are far more entertaining.

The writer didn’t even seem bothered by all of it. It just came off as a simple observation piece to me.
