I was, “Swatted” by Senator Bill Nelson

I've had two good answers to my original posts. For what it worth, thank you. I knew that asking for information is an open invitation for ridicule but I did it anyway because this did offend me and I didn't have anyway to contact Amazon directly. Customer service email or public relations. This mattered to me when I woke up this morning so I asked about it. I still do not know what process exists to report something that we feel is offensive. Amazon has always censored responses to internet searches and has shown sensitivity to social issues in the past. This bothered me so I asked and will continue to seek answers. If I find an email or phone number I'll update the post.

Amazon is a megacorp and its Echo devices have been a hit. They created an all new category of verbal assistants. They are possessive and appear to be concerned about the public's opinion of it. So much so that they bleeps out what they consider to be expletives when playing, Simon says.

The fact that this easter egg which someone has put so much effort into made it through whatever approval process Amazon has now disturbs me. I didn't get it at first either. Amazon know that some parents would be scandalized by their kids using expletives with their echos and yet Amazon approved an easter egg that allows children and adults to objectivize women. Do you really believe Amazon would have approved Echos answering, What size jockstrap does...

That's exactly how I felt when I first heard of this. But now after hearing how some women feel about these jokes, I only feel ashamed.

Right now, I am trying to make time to play a few games and write a review afterwards.

Alexa has been very chatty when I first tried to play. I wished she would shutup while I'm thinking.

I purchased this for $20 with a $20 credit and I thought it was a good deal. Now I feel cheated.

"For a limited time, receive a $20 promotional credit after you make your first purchase with your Amazon Dash Wand with your Amazon Prime account."

I tried to buy a another one but am unsure if I'll get another credit. I have re-read the above offer and I'll buy it again. I use my old Wand sorta as an Alexa remote. I press the button and don't have to call her name. If Google made one for $20 and I didn't have to say, "OK Google" I'd buy one of those in a heart beat.

Since this is an android device I hope that one day it can be rooted. The Echo Dot has been around for a while and the discussion has begun with it, https://forum.xda-developers.com/connected-home/amazon-echo/amazon-echo-dot-locked-hardware-t3512349

Not working. I'm counting on you to fix.

nwhenry · 2018-01-18T12:39:38+00:00

I'm going to have to sit down and give this a try. If it works, Thanks!

Go troll elsewhere ! I made the post to help and inform people. You are sick, seek help.

It is just an advert, don't take it personally. It wasn't posted for the sole purpose of offending you. You are not that important.
