- Arkansas police seeking data from Amazon echo device belonging to a suspect in a murder inquiry
- Gadget belongs to James Andrew Bates, accused of strangling friend Victor Collins who was found dead in a bath tub at suspects home
- latest advance in voice-activated servants
Ethical issues in terms of the debate of privacy are risen here. The echo has a microphone that is constantly listening and stores a history of commands in order to learn from them. This therefore raises privacy issues but the positives of this are definitely important as it can help with criminality in this case. Although ethical issues are raised, there are positives to this which helps to counteract the negative privacy concerns. New/digital media has become more advanced in order to try to learn from the surroundings to create a more 'human-like' device, therefore to some extent this makes the device more complex and more intelligent rather than producing a negative debate of privacy.
