Google Home goes on a defensive rant if you ask it about the CIA

Paranoid? Who's being paranoid?

Following the Wikileaks March 7 Vault 7 data dump, which allegedly details a host of CIA hacking tools, people have started looking at their internet-connected devices with just a tad bit more skepticism. After all, if the government can rig a Samsung Smart TV as a listening bug, then why not other in-home devices as well?

Other devices like, for example, the Amazon Echo or the Google Home.

With that in mind, people have taken to asking their digital assistants about the CIA. The results, well, are a bit baffling.
