did you give your social security number to a requester???I don't mean to be Mr. Downer or anything, but in terms of privacy, haven't we all already provided Amazon, one of the most egregious abusers of planet Earth, with our social security numbers? Or did I totally get scammed?
>.> mountains, the requester. But to be fair I am hobbit-sized so it's not a wild assumption.Bilbo?
Much more intrusive, and less trustworthy, than our "intelligence" agencies.I don't mean to be Mr. Downer or anything, but in terms of privacy, haven't we all already provided Amazon, one of the most egregious abusers of planet Earth, with our social security numbers? Or did I totally get scammed?
Goodness, no. I did have to give it to Amazon when I signed up to work on Mechanical Turk, though. Maybe I was just flagged right out the gate and they needed extra levels of authentication.did you give your social security number to a requester???
Pretty sure they require that of everyone. I had to. it's just to verify you're a real person.Goodness, no. I did have to give it to Amazon when I signed up to work on Mechanical Turk, though. Maybe I was just flagged right out the gate and they needed extra levels of authentication.

I got the echo show last year because I wanted to connect it to an outdoor surveillance thing. The one I have comes with a mute button so that you can keep it from hearing you all the time. I've said all kinds of things testing it to see if it really can hear me and apparently, when you have it muted, it can't, because if it could I'm sure it would have sent someone for me.... However, when it is turned on, it can hear what I say on the other end of the house with several doors shut, which is really creepy.I am trying so hard to not jump on the smart speaker bandwagon, but today might be the day. Why are they pushing it so hard. 99c dots, sheesh.
This is just Windows 10 all over again. Which I refused to give in to because , but now I regret not getting it when it was free for years. Voluntary home surveillance here I come, maybe I'll rewatch iRobot first.
