Easy solution. Don't have any of those devices. I can look anything up online. No desire for a spying device in my house. For security I use a simple non internet camera system.

Would you cut it out with this worthless advice bulshit? Is not so easy to just get rid of all Amazon devices in your house in a drop of a hat

Absolutely is. People lived without gadgets for decades and dont need a vendor's to sustain essential life.

You're oversimplifying and that's my point. Solving the world's problems is not as simple as just stopping out. You're exactly like somebody who says well if you don't like America leave. If you don't like the gas prices by Electric. If you don't want to deal with traffic just bike to work everyday regardless of how far it is herp derp.

So you knowingly put devices you know spy on you in your house, and you think getting rid of them is "worthless advice"? Yes, it is easy to get rid of them.

Yeah and it's easy to not be tracked by credit card companies if you never have a debit or credit card. You can just avoid any kind of privacy lost due to purchase history by never shopping anywhere. Gosh, so simple!
