That was about the Guildford 4, a separate but similar miscarriage of justice.

Amazon can sell you a product, then decide to change what that product is after you’ve installed it in your home. US-only for now (apparently they notified some UK owners by accident). How long until they spread this out to other pieces of hardware? Maybe even anything with Alexa embedded?

Sadly, the only organisations with the reach and resources to implement them are Amazon and Google. Soo here we are.
