Are people really so air headed that they don't realize a phone which can respond to voice commands AT ANY TIME is constantly listening?

You mean to tell me that my Google Home is spying on me? What is this nonsense?

This is why I deny these permissions at all times. They're still going to listen but if they choose to use that data for anything but advertising purposes they've breached our contract, it also makes it inadmissible in court. It's not enough, but at least it's something.

I am 100% Google free. So I'm not lying when people ask me if I'm vaccinated and I say "Yes."
