Mute the Amazon Echo

Please remember not to discuss patient information (PHI) unless the Amazon Echo is muted. Thank you. That's downright terrifying tbh I'm thinking this is a sign you shouldn't have the Amazon Echo in the office to begin with but that's just me I'm thinking this is a sign you shouldn't have the Amazon Echo to begin with but that's just me I work in Big Tech™ and on my very first day they told us to never take remote meetings in the same room as a smart speaker. Which pretty much affirmed my choice to never own one

A photo shows a workplace notice reminding staff not to discuss patient information unless an Amazon Echo is muted, followed by social media reactions expressing fear and distrust of smart speakers. The joke is that a routine privacy notice implies the Echo may be listening to confidential conversations, making the device seem unsettling and unsafe.
