This shit pisses me off the most. Happens all the time and I absolutely hate it. How do we still not have legislation around this? (Because: Money)
Legislation around what?
Phones listening to your conversations and then suggesting products based on them
It would first need to be proven that they actually do that.
Huh?
Because they don't do that yet so we haven't had to legislate for it yet.
Generally government is reactionary so you won't get legislation until after it's an issue.
You can't prove this.
Can you prove they do listen?
Just because it doesnt make sense to you doesnt make it wrong.
Google Assistant, Now Playing. Both closed source always listening.
