This is the problem of voice technology, and it remains mostly unchanged with this new Dot. Using a Dot, as with any Echo device, requires you to use an Amazon account, which means agreeing to the company's terms and conditions. I've written extensively about the problems of this structure, both for market competition and for individual privacy.

The United Nations and foreign powers that recognized Dbeibah's government when it was installed a year ago have avoided any definitive statement on which administration should now be seen as legitimate, and have instead pushed for quick elections.

The United Nations backed a ceasefire and peace process after an eastern offensive against Tripoli collapsed in 2020, with most sides in Libya publicly supporting Dbeibah's interim unity government and scheduling elections for December 2021.



The cloud-service operation is a huge profit center for Amazon. It holds roughly a third of the $152 billion market for cloud services, according to a report by Synergy Research - a larger share than its closest rivals, Microsoft and Buy Book Google, combined.
