Like, we all know they’re listening , but can we provide proof?

My friend was complaining about all the new super surveillance that will be government required in cars after 2027, and I said to him dude you have a stock android, you use every AI slop feature, you use a smart TV on your unsecured network, and uses x every day. They have everything they could possibly need on him. Oh and he posts questionable things to fb daily under his real name.

    Aside from devices that acknowledge theyre listening all the time there actually isnt any, for undisclosed data collection via microphone specifically. Research has, to my knowledge, never found that to be the case

    Please stop quoting this misinformation.

    Microphone hijacking is real, and it is common. The average user has been a victitm of it.

    And in addition, Google and Apple effectively admitted to microphone abuse in court.

      Did they? I read the article and the conclusion is they got fined but didn’t admit to anything, nor was any proof shown that they did anything. The whole thing was about Siri getting activated by ambient noise.
