Amazon fined $30m over Alexa and Ring privacy violations
Amazon is to pay $25 million to settle allegations that it violated children's privacy rights with its Alexa voice assistant.
Ring will pay $5.8 million to authorities, according to a filing in federal court in the District of Columbia. But the company did not do this, keeping data for years and using it unlawfully to help improve its Alexa algorithm, the complaint said. They were able to view and download customers' sensitive video data for their own purposes, the body said.
