Seems like a serious data privacy concern to me.

Are customers actually able to opt out of Amazon Sidewalk? Or is it the case that Amazon will continue to override customer settings for Ring and Alexa devices in order to achieve this mesh network?

"One must also assume that Amazon will do its best to encrypt its network traffic and make its devices as hard to hack as possible."

So far, Amazon says nothing when large volumes of customer data is leaked via vulnerable Alexa and Ring devices. Will Amazon be forced to disclose that it's systems are successfully attacked?
