    Didn’t they just pass a law to make all that illegal spying legal, like that changes anything? Seems obvious if your phone is listening in a device like this will be used no matter what setting you use. I remember Amazon being caught leaving their mics on and also Facebook sending conversations to 3rd parties for transcribing. And this is just a small fraction of the shit we know about.

      That was for government spying, not private.

        I thought private spied for government? Or government did it anyway

          It was just expanding what the federal government is allowed to do without a warrant, but you’re right in that they were probably already doing it.

            So how are they doing it if the mic is supposedly turned off to google and on to spying?

              They’re not, but they are capturing all of your web traffic.
