Editor’s note: We are facing an unprecedented moment in American history. Our government and multinational technology monopolies have made it clear that our people are targets of the vast surveillance state they have built.The deep state seeks to imprison those who share meme, Blaze Media Journalist, and even leading presidential candidates. It’s time for us to take back control of our privacy and digital communications. This guide gives you the tools to do just that.This is an excerpt from a larger guide.
Turn off Siri and Alexa
Voice recognition services enable convenient and safe driving. Instead of spending time looking for contacts, it’s great to tell your phone to make a call. Needless to say, I always end up typing the wrong characters, which takes even more time. However, the convenience is not worth the price. When you use Siri, Alexa, or other voice recognition software, you are allowing big tech companies to listen to your private conversations.
When you say “Hey Siri” or “Alexa,” this voice command launches the software. Speech recognition is not turned on. it is already turned on.of The software is It’s always listening, so you can respond by saying Siri or Alexa.
Want to have a “private” conversation with your spouse in the room with your Alexa device, Google Nest, or iPhone with voice recognition turned on? Would you like to be able to collect and use it to better target you, buy things from you, or otherwise manipulate you?

It’s hard to wrap your head around the idea that all of our communications, text messages, calls, emails, and internet searches can be tracked, but that’s the world we live in, and we can track ourselves. must be protected. I want to be able to use digital technology without infringement, but to do that we need to build decentralized technology and move away from Google’s surveillance vision of the world.
