      I’ll refer you to the Vice article that has been linked in this conversation above.

      The mic is always hot, and neither you or I know what exactly is being stored locally and then sent in batch later on, or sent in real time. Only Google does.

          You don’t know the difference between someone saying a microphone is always on (hot) for processing a wake word vs saying the microphone is always on (hot) for data collection.

          No, I’m very aware of the distinction, my career was as a computer programmer, and have worked with hardware as well, and I’m very aware of technology, and have an Android certification.

          You were just assuming one thing that I was saying, when I was actually saying a general thing.

          The mic is hot by default. It has to listen for the activation sequence.

          What I’m suggesting is that while that mic is hot it’s also gathering other data and storing it locally, and then it sends it off in a batch with other traffic later on, so it’s not detectable from someone who’s monitoring network traffic from the device.

          Temporally, you’re assuming that all eavesdropping is transmitted in real time, where I am not.
