Just a Heads Up: Amazon Device Owners Only Have About 4 Days to Opt Out of Their Wireless Mass Sharing Plan Called "Sidewalk"

Amazon's Sidewalk program is allegedly designed to fix connection problems with its users smart devices like Echo and Ring security camera's. https://bit.ly/3uWwpdg

Like Comcast, the Sidewalk plan builds "mesh networks" by hooking devices up to a city-wide or area-wide network extending WIFI ranges and tracking devices such as those made by Tile.

Concerns have come because of the lack of transparency with which Amazon rolled out the product and the short time to opt out.

Is this yet another way to enlarge the "smart surveillance network" aka "the internet of things"? Amazon's Q&A leans in that direction.
