This isn't rocket science: 🔸People are entitled to have full use of their name 🔸Any product making that difficult is *unethical* Take it away, @Alexa99. #RebrandAlexa

Speaking of "dystopian nightmares", there's plenty of *actual people* out there whose name is the activation sound for HALF A BILLION tech products. #RebrandAlexa

Amazon has a history of ignoring pleas from parents. We know of several children who've been driven to suicidal ideation because of this corporation's persistence in using a real name to active half a billion @alexa99 devices. #RebrandAlexa

Whereas, parents they did ignore for 5 years. More about the #YouthPoisoningProtectionAct here on our blog. Thank you to @RepLoriTrahan and other co-sponsors like @RepKatiePorter for steadfast leadership on this bipartisan and bicameral bill. cagoldberglaw.com/sodium-nit…

A troubled girl stands apart from 3 other girls, who are mocking her. Their words are written on top of the image: "Alexa, what's the weather?" "Alexa, do my homework!" "Alexa, turn off the lights!" Whose name will be picked to command the next half billion tech devices?

A girl is standing in a playground, looking troubled. In the background are 3 other girls who appear to be mocking her.

I feel bad for ladies named 'Karen'. It would suck to have media zombies coopt your name as a derivative slur.

I have a FireTV with Alexa. I have a partner named Alexis. When I say Alexis name the TV suddenly wants to talk to me. My ridiculous solve? I plugged my Roku stick in the port and have resigned myself to having a FireRokuTV. Ugh.

I get so tired and dispirited, seeing my name used as a term of abuse. When I was born, my parents chose my name with love. It isn't yours to demean and if you do, think about what that makes you.

@alexa99 Fears if my toddler son ever meets someone named Alexa: 1) he yells at her every 3 seconds while pronouncing her name wrong 2) he pokes her incessantly 3) he repeatedly asks her to play songs 4) he feels she is broken if she fails to deliver all requests immediately Sorry all Alexa’s out there.

If the "Karen" thing were just a joke, we'd take turns. Mike makes a Karen joke, Karen makes a Steve joke, Steve makes a Mike joke. Instead, it's "First everyone laughs at Karen, then everyone laughs at Karen, then everyone laughs at Karen..." That's not ribbing. That's bullying.

It's 2023. It is socially irresponsible for a company to refuse to fix a product that's leading users to call for excluding people because of their name. #RebrandAlexa @alexa99

Do you suppose that some companies or businesses might refuse to hire people named Alexa if they have an Alexa in their office or whatever
