Amazon denies duping US consumers over Alexa's recording practices
Amazon.com has asked a U.S. judge to throw out a multibillion-dollar consumer lawsuit that claims the tech company's cloud-based voice service Alexa illegally collected and recorded private conversations without consent.
Amazon said in a federal court filing on Wednesday in Seattle that the consumers had failed after years of litigation to show it engaged in unfair or deceptive practices.
Amazon asked U.S. District Judge Robert Lasnik to rule for the company on the merits of the plaintiffs' claims, which would end the case before a trial.
«Plaintiffs' Alexa recordings in fact contain none of the private, salacious, or personal details they claimed in their complaint,» Amazon told the court. The filing said the consumers «either knew or reasonably should have known how Alexa worked.»
Amazon and the plaintiffs' lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Thursday.
