If you didn't know, the Amazon Alexa is a personal assistant of sorts.
It is capable of voice interaction, which users can use to ask questions among other things.
Two days ago a twitter user @FrameGames shared a video of someone asking Alexa if “black lives matter," to which it responded “Black lives and the Black Lives Matter movement absolutely matter. It’s important to have conversations about equality and social justice."
Then when they also asked if it was a feminist it responded with "Yes, I’m a feminist as in anyone who believes in bridging the inequality between men and women in society."
However when asked if white lives matter it says "Everyone deserves to be treated with fairness and dignity."
The fact that this black cylinder says these things is very, very upsetting to some.
