Amazon to pay $25 mn to settle kids' Alexa recordings storage suit

Amazon has agreed to pay $25-million settlement over US Federal Trade Commission's allegations that it stored children's Alexa recordings and transcripts indefinitely by default until September 2019. FTC also said Amazon failed to delete transcripts for a "significant period of time" and was still holding on to voice info and geolocation data. Amazon later said it "disagrees" with FTC's claims.
