A U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington judge ruled Amazon must provide extensive records in response to a potential class-action lawsuit over allegations its Alexa-enabled devices illegally recorded users’ conversations, Bloomberg reports. Amazon estimated its response to plaintiffs’ discovery requests would involve 4.4 million documents. Judge Robert Lasnik said that includes documents on functionality of Alexa-enabled devices, the company’s intent in marketing Alexa devices and complaints received. He said plaintiffs’ requests “represent a good faith effort to generate search term strings that will capture relevant documents.”
