Amazon Devices Will Soon Automatically Share Your Internet With Neighbors

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

Everyone with Alexa devices beginning June 8th will be automatically opted in to the new Amazon Sidewalk. What this does is share a slice of your internet signal with anyone near enough to connect to your devices... and vice versa.

I wont even get into how this fits perfectly into the push toward Socialism (those who pay providing free wi-fi for those who don't or wont) or the privacy risks but will go straight into how to opt OUT!

Fortunately, turning Sidewalk off is relatively painless. It involves:

1. Opening the Alexa app
   
   
2. Opening More and selecting Settings
   
   
3. Selecting Account Settings
   
   
4. Selecting Amazon Sidewalk
   
   
5. Turning Amazon Sidewalk Off

I think this may be the real start of "The Internet Of Things".

Supposedly for it to work, the way they want it to work, there has to be greater inter connectivity. One of the issues, supposedly, they have with 5G is that the transmitters have to be closer together. So I guess instead of putting a 5g transmitter at each house, they can by-pass that, by just allowing connection to all devices in all the houses.

Just a thought.

I don't have any of those devices, but they don't need Alexa, Ring, or all those other monitoring devices, to keep tabs on everything you do. Almost all electronic devices and all cell phones do a good enough job of that now. They are just trying to make it cheaper for them to do so.
