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!
What made up by Facebook boomers, that devices can be used to listen and collect data on users?
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 :)
