Amazon devices will soon automatically share your Internet with neighbors | Ars Technica

Why I've never had the slightest interest in a device manufactured by Amazon (or Google), in a nutshell.

Making people "share" stuff isn't sharing, and I PAY for my high-speed Internet. I'm not a utility, nor am I providing a public service.

@evamarie @voltronic

I believe this is more stuff that can act as some kind of a WiFi base station. A Kindle won't do that.

At least, I HOPE it won't.

I don't own any Kindles, and if the Kindle app on my iPad starts "sharing" any networks, there'll be...TROUBLE.

@mcfate @voltronic

My Kindle Fire is WiFi based, unfortunately. It not only has E-Books but apps for things like Amazon Prime and Netflix. The only salvation is that WiFi is provided as a part of my Homeowners Association dues so all my neighbors have WiFi. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

@mcfate I wouldn't say that Apple is that upfront about what it does.

Like do you know how much of your stuff it can actually decrypt and read in their iCloud?
