Amazon devices will soon automatically share your Internet

Maybe I am not fully understanding, are Echo and Alexa devices also hot spots? They are creating a sub network of these devices? Do they show up as an internet choice? My internet is encrypted so I am not sure how this would work. Sorry, I don't get it. Never mind the range on those things is hardly far enough to mesh a network together - at least in my neighborhood. And everyone has the same internet anyway, so if theirs goes out, so does mine. I have nothing to hide but if you remember Amazon was cited for recording information from people when they said they weren't. then they lied and said they weren't listening all the time - um, then how do they respond from key words? People constantly complaining about Big Brother and privacy and the same time they willingly buy these things and put them in their house. It's a hacker's dream. All a moot point for me as I don't own any of those devices. I have no need for them. I can look up Ninja jokes and check the weather just as fast on my own. Frankly I never saw the benefit outside of a novelty and laziness. The benefit is almost solely one-sided to allow companies to collect data for a variety of reasons beyond marketing. An Echo dot came with my new FW and I gave it away.
