Joel Reidenberg was quoted in Tech Republic about the privacy implications of always-on listening devices.
Amazon refused to provide the information from its servers, but the case highlighted the privacy issues associated with always-on devices, Joel Reidenberg, founding academic director of the Center on Law and Information Policy at Fordham University, told TechRepublic at the time.
The case also signalled that personal assistants and other Internet of Things (IoT) devices that can record conversations will likely be targets for subpoena in civil litigation going forward, Reidenberg said.
