New Amazon feature will share users’ internet connection if they don’t opt out
The tool, named Sidewalk, is intended to create a large “mesh” network that can be called on by other devices. It will mean that millions of devices made by Amazon companies – including Alexa smart speakers and Ring security cameras – as well as others will be able to borrow connections to ensure they stay online.
But critics note that the feature also means that Amazon will have much deeper access to those internet connections, and that it could potentially raise privacy and security concerns for users.
