@washingtonpost I discovered Amazon had collected more than 600,000 data points about my home since 2019.
Every flick of a lightswitch.
And Amazon offers no setting to stop it from collecting this data. (Best option is to auto-delete after 3 months.)

@washingtonpost Amazon touts its privacy controls and transparency.
But it took me weeks of investigations & data requests to figure out the basics of what Amazon knows.
These products can be useful, but it's a farce to say we're giving informed “consent” to this.
