Personally, I wish that Amazon devices came with purchasing disabled. That would require customers to actively enable the feature and eliminate the possibility of orders by those unaware of the feature.

The mom was not clear about whether she knew about the parental controls and/or purchasing controls before her daughter went on a spending spree. She only said that after the fact it "literally only took five seconds for [her] to turn off purchasing."
I agree, Amazon should be more open about the FACT that their devices will come with purchasing ENABLED and parental controls DISABLED. Although as I recall, you do have to have one-click purchasing ENABLED before Alexa can make purchases by voice. However, a lot of customers will already have that enabled.
