Most are not tech-savvy enough to even know what you're talkin' bout.    Yes. It's wise from a security/surveillance point of view to dump Microsoft, Apple, Google and Amazon.

Speaking of security...My voiceprint is probably on file (tagged with geolocations of friends and family) saying 'Alexa. Fuck off!'
