If your landlord accesses a private conversation, they are guilty of violating federal (and likely state) wiretap law. It's that simple. If your landlord accesses a private conversation with Amazon's assistance, willing or unwilling, Amazon has committed tort. If Amazon's lawyers are any good at all, they have cautioned Amazon at great length as to the absolute cliff face of risks/rewards on this particular feature. If Amazon's coders are any good at all, they have made it impossible for shitty landlords to attach Amazon to a class-action civil tort violation of wiretapping law. Those first two "ifs" only come into play if lawyers can be motivated to get involved. Those second two "ifs" fall down if Amazon generally sucks at this. I give it 50/50.
