"Are you letting Amazon share your wifi? "


          

Its called Sidewalk and Amazon just flipped the switch on June 8th. Everyone automatically opted in and has to opt out.

But no one is really discussing it.

So if you have a Ring or Echo device that shit is sharing a slice of your wifi with the block.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*
