As Alexa's secret human army is revealed, we ask: Who else has been listening in on you?

Simple, don't connect "smart TVs" to web (use a tablet/netbook/phone/laptop to stream, not a "stick"), don't buy any gadget with a microphone, especially so called "smart speakers", except laptop/tablet/phone.

Try and set suitable security on things that HAVE to have a microphone. Why is it enabled by default on most web browsers?

Don't have any toy that needs the Internet.

We know that big tech is about as honest, transparent and moral as your local drug dealer and quite like security agencies in behaviour.
