Amazon is ending the option to not send Echo voice recordings to the cloud
Amazon is removing the "Do not send voice recordings" feature for the Echo devices that supported this feature (Dot 4th Gen, Show 10, Show 15) on March 28, 2025, to focus on cloud-based generative AI in Alexa Plus. This feature made Alexa process the requests locally.
Now, the only feature that remains is the "Don't save recordings" feature, in which all the voice recordings will be processed in the cloud, and then they will be deleted once Alexa processes the request.

Roku is forcing users to watch ads before they can use their TV in ‘test’
Owners of smart TVs and streaming sticks running Roku OS are already subject to video advertisements on the home screen, and now they are getting forced to watch ads before they can even access the home screen.
Some people might not be as receptive to more obtrusive ad formats if they have grown accustomed to seeing a static image on an ignored area of their screen. One Redditor commented,
Although Roku already has advertisements on the home screen and in its screensaver, autoplaying advertisements when the TV is turned on is a novel and quite hostile practice.

I could accept the static ad on the side. Forcing a loud commercial is awful.

A Win for Encryption: France Rejects Backdoor Mandate
The French National Assembly on March 20, 2025, voted against Article 8 from an anti-drug trafficking bill that would have gutted end-to-end encryption. The proposal required messaging platforms such as Signal and WhatsApp to implement backdoor access through a "ghost participant" model for encrypted communications.
The Assembly made privacy its top priority achieving a major victory. The EU's Chat Control proposal represents one of many similar measures that continue to exist globally. The presence of backdoors in systems creates vulnerabilities that cybercriminals can exploit.
