Amazon Allegedly Shuts Down Man's Smart Home Over False Claims of Racism

An individual who uses his Amazon Echo to control his smart home was reportedly out of luck for a week after an Amazon delivery driver claimed to have overheard a racist remark made in his home.

The incident began when an Amazon delivery driver overheard the victim's doorbell ask,
"Excuse me, can I help you?" and thought it was a racist remark.

As a result, Amazon revoked access to the man's Echo device, leaving him unable to use the smart features in his smart home until Amazon finished its investigation.

This should terrify everyone...
