When visiting the residence of a user of such devices, how should a privacy conscious person approach the thorny issue of desiring one's voice not to be recorded and transmitted?

In 2020 we&#x27;ll all be talking like gangsters. The G&#x27;s have been privacy conscience for centuries which is why their language evolves at such a high rate.<p>For the record &quot;Alexa turn off&quot; and &quot;Alexa stop listening&quot; were NOPs on my Echo. But you can shout &quot;Alexa ping&quot; and &quot;Alexa hello&quot; to test if it is in the room.

Buyers of such devices don&#x27;t seem to care.
