The recent update regarding the Alexa feature known as "Do Not Send Voice Recordings" has sparked significant backlash among users. Many feel that removing features, particularly ones that were marketed as part of the product, constitutes a deceptive practice. Users have compared this strategy to a bait-and-switch scenario, where they believe they are sold a product with certain features only to have them revoked shortly after purchase. The discussion hints at a greater trend in technology where companies may prioritize cloud functionality and subscription models over user control and privacy. This incident has raised concerns about consumer rights and the need for regulatory oversight, particularly from the FTC, as technology increasingly shifts towards subscription-based models.
