BATTLE FOR WORLD / SPUTNIK NEWS | August 8, 2019: The article highlights that an investigation by the The Sun news media revealed on July 29 that Amazon staff had been eavesdropping on private conversations and users having sex as they monitored thousands of Alexa recordings. And Amazon is reportedly updating its settings to allow users to opt out.

“For Alexa, we already offer customers the ability to opt out of having their voice recordings used to help develop new Alexa features. The voice recordings from customers who use this opt-out are also excluded from our supervised learning workflows that involve manual review of an extremely small sample of Alexa requests. We’ll also be updating information we provide to customers to make our practices more clear,” said Amazon in a statement issued on August 2.
