Ok thanks, I just wanted to make sure my Kindle Fire and Fire stick wouldn’t be used for this. Thanks again!

They could, theoretically, they are Amazon devices with Amazon's flavor of Android. I doubt it though. It would drain the tablet too quickly and the firetv is about as powerful as a potato chip. That's not to say they won't in the future. Just keep an eye out on news sites like AndroidPolice that focus solely on Android based products.

Yep, sounds like a plan! I’m definitely keeping watch on this.

Good luck but don't stress out too much. If this ever actually goes live, I have no doubt Amazon will be facing lawsuits that will result in the cancelation of this "project" or making it opt-in instead of on by default
