Amazon has released a new service… Amazon Key. Basically it lets people in to your house.
So, Before we get started here, watch Amazon’s take on it:
Ok… so that could be handy, right? I guess? If you’re cool with strangers in your house…. I’m also not a fan of Amazon having this much access to your life. I mean…. wow. That’s a lot of access.
PS That chick really needs to get her life together.
Anyway, according to this:
Amazon has announced a smart lock system that will allow packages to be delivered directly into their customers’ homes, and Twitter users are going wild imagining all of the things that could possibly go wrong.
The Amazon Key service works in conjunction with its Cloud Cam and smart lock to allow ‘thoroughly vetted’ delivery drivers inside shoppers’ homes if they aren’t there to receive their packages. Amazon Prime members can also create temporary passcodes for friends and other services professionals to enter as well.
Although the company insists that it’s drivers have ‘comprehensive background checks and motor vehicle records reviews,’ some Twitter users believe the new system is a recipe for disaster.
So… Twitter’s reaction?

Was Amazon Key inspired by European immigration policy? Want to foolishly open your door to total strangers? Hey Alexa – go full Merkel!
