Amazon sees Alexa devices more than double in just one year
Found on CNet News on Monday, 06 January 2020
The e-commerce titan announced Monday that there are now "hundreds of millions of Alexa-enabled devices" in customers' hands worldwide, a massive increase from the 100 million it announced last January.
One issue that may stifle Alexa's popularity is privacy. Amazon and other major voice developers faced mounting criticism last year for failing to let their users know they use human reviewers to listen to a small number of user recordings.
Ring, Amazon's video doorbell company, has also faced criticism for security lapses and its partnerships with local police departments.
Alexa can never be so good that should be considered to buy such a spying device.
