   @mikegerwitz ...called "Keep Internet Devices Safe Act" (SB1719). Amazon and Google are opposing it with the attached talking points (via https://twitter.com/matthewstoller/status/1115991653662195713).

   I know of two other cases like this Alexa example that made press. Samsung SmartTV in 2015 w/ help from Nuance Comms (now a partner for Apple's Siri), and "My Friend Cayla" dolls in 2017 (again w/ Nuance).

   At @privacylab we think we've found an example of speech broken into syllables and disguised as a nUHF signal. Stay tuned. 3/3
