personally I think its better to be afraid of real things that are happening than things made up by Facebook boomers.
why this particular issue fools even the most technical of people I'll never know.
But Facebook can't spy on me, I repost the "I DO NOT GIVE FACEBOOK PERMISSION" spam every 3 months without fail!
obviously what you vaguely describe has been around since 1945.
That home assistant devices are constantly listening and feeding back marketing data on every conversation is patent and disproven nonsense.
they have done packet sniffing investigations, they have disassembled the devices, they have run meters on the electrical charges... everything in every way you can imagine.
But even if you just think about it for a second - processing a live audio feed at a rate of 1 second per second indefinitely and correlating that data via voice recognition to your Google profile all to... make your ad personalizations... worse? more inaccurate?
like what the hell is the perceived benefit? That my wife says, "oh my dad found my old barbie house!" while at my neighbors house and my neighbor gets served barbie ads? Why would Google want that?
LOL :)
At some point ever you're going to realize is that the real things you need to be afraid of are largely caused by the stuff made up by Facebook boomers.
what specifically? vaccines cause autism/monkeypox, the democrats drink baby blood, trump won the last/next election, Putin is good because he's only killing Nazis in Ukraine, forest fires are caused by Jewish space lasers, LGBTQ+ folks are grooming children and Bill Gates wants to put microchips in your brain?
Like — what are you saying, some misinformation is good?
I'm saying people believe those things. Roughly half of all voters. And those beliefs cause damage, and it will affect you, whether you think it's stupid or not. You can ignore it and insult it all you want, but it's not going away. Perhaps you've noticed?
Right, so if "gOoGLe iS reCoRdiNg yOu" is false, it makes sense to call that out, no?

I appreciate how much time and attention you're giving me! Thanks!
