I can’t stand all this talk about Alexa being a wiretap, that is a gross misrepresentation of the purpose of devices like Alexa and their function in our lives. if it’s not intercepting phone calls through some connection to your phone line, it’s not a wiretap and it’s not wiretapping. 

the correct terms for a covert listening device are bug and bugging.
