    why is this downvoted? you cant prove its not, if its proprietry. and since the companies listening just happen to profit off data collection (and break/bend the law often), its safe to assume they do this.

      Because you can prove it by monitoring network requests with a packet sniffer, which has been done.

            Yeah. I work in that general field but not at the user level like that so never got into packet sniffing. Now’s as good a time as ever eh?

      Probably bots controlled by people hired by the companies that spy on us through those things.
