Then you shouldn't buy this thing, or if you do be very careful about how you use it - including distinguishing between what the government has a recording of and what Amazon has a recording of (I rather doubt you are cool with your sex life providing entertainment for Amazon employees either, right)?

The point I'm making, though, is not what level of privacy you should be happy with (a decision only you can make), but how people in the aggregate make decisions about using technology that could have privacy implications - and my theory is that most people don't care.

I was merely responding to this singular point:

"Most people don't care [about privacy] because they're not culpable enough to feel paranoid."

Let be honest, I don't have a sex life.
