It remains to be seen whether Bates` Echo does indeed have any pertinent information ? a hearing is scheduled for Wednesday this week.
Amazon provided the former, but argued against providing communication data, claiming that voice interactions with Alexa were protected by the First Amendment.
In documents filed last Monday, defendant James Andrew Bates said that he was willing to allow law enforcement officials to review information contained on his Amazon Echo speaker, before the company handed the data over on Friday.
The defendant`s acquiescence also means that we don`t yet have a definitive answer on whether Alexa is indeed protected by the First Amendment.
" Precedent for that argument was set by a 2014 case in which Google search results were classified as "free speech" by a San Francisco court, after a news website complained that its own pages were too far down the company`s listings.
