    If you look at the slideshow, cox media group doesn’t claim to be the ones harvesting the data, only to be processing it using AI to then provide that aggregate information to advertisers. Which makes sense, they literally have no means to directly collect voice data from you

    Also no offense but, I thought lemmy users were a little bit better than this whole “read headline, make assumptions, storm to comments” thing that Reddit loves to do

      The Facebook app doesn’t collect voice data either though, or at least I haven’t seen any actual data proving it. Some Android phones show a dot on the screen when the microphone is in use. The Facebook app doesn’t even ask for microphone permission unless you use a feature that needs it.
