    Amazon spent years putting microphones in our homes and apparently decided the real problem was that we occasionally leave the house. Now you can pay $75 plus $12 a month to turn every conversation into a potential shopping reminder. The future of privacy is apparently a subscription you forgot to cancel.

      The future of privacy is apparently a subscription you forgot to cancel.

      Ugh…. That is profoundly bleak. It’s like the slogan for the future.

        Coming soon: Privacy Prime. For $19.99 a month, Amazon agrees not to listen to your conversations. For $29.99, it also agrees not to sell them. The free tier includes personalized ads based on things you whispered in your sleep. Cancellation requires speaking your full name into the microphone.
