Amazon saved children’s voices recorded by Alexa even after parents asked for it to be deleted. Now it’s paying a $25 million fine.::“For too long, Amazon has treated children’s sensitive data as its own property,” Josh Golin, executive director of Fairplay, said in a statement.
That is the solution.
And before the usual story “but companies are not people and you cannot punish people for things a company did”: in the end, in a company there is always someone that make a decision. It is too easy to commit a crime and then say “but the company did it”.
It’s how they always hide, and they won’t ever stop until we hold them accountable. By law or otherwise.
