Amazon saved children’s voices recorded by Alexa even after parents asked for it to be deleted. Now it’s paying a $25 million fine.::“For too long, Amazon has treated children’s sensitive data as its own property,” Josh Golin, executive director of Fairplay, said in a statement.

    Agreed.

    I only mentioned my range because then perhaps it would move to a different column in their budget.

    25 million is nothing to Amazon.

    A couple of billion might move it into an enterily new spreadsheet and maybe even precipitate a meeting to figure out who needs to be fired. Maybe.

      Amazon makes between $53 million and $54 million an hour. This is the first Google search result, but even if it’s exaggerated, 25 million doesn’t even leave the tiniest mark… It’s sad…

      Lol, my life would be over, if i were to be fined 25 million
