       FWIW it’s not just Meta.In Fall 2019, an employee from another prominent social media company told me this was common. /2

       @Sheril> Yes, our phones are ‘listening’ to what we sayIs anybody surprised by this? Genuine question. Is just seems self-evident to me.Phones have mics. Those mics are controlled by the OS. Having it listen to those mics is legal. The OS on the vast majority of phones is made by one of the world's biggest DataFarmers. A big chunk of the remainder by another. I would be surprised to learn those companies were *not* listening on those mics, any time they can, and trying to monetise it.

       @strypey @Sheril I've only ever used iPhones ... but the first time an app tries to access the mic, or camera or anything else, you are asked if you want to allow it.Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if >90% of users just click  'OK'  without even reading the dialog, or even less likely, thinking about what it means.FWIW, I have never and will never use anything made by Meta (or a few others).  You can still get by!!

       The worst part is imagine all the stuff NSA is recording secretly from you.It amazes me how people claim this isn't possible. Yet magically it brings up stuff mentioned from a private conversation.

       @Sheril No matter how fake and gay you think it is, it's worse.

       @NonPlayableClown Government spending is out of control, and we mock China for building empty cities.

       @Lyx @NonPlayableClown He needs to unburden himself from what has been and spark joy.
