Didn’t they just pass a law to make all that illegal spying legal, like that changes anything? Seems obvious if your phone is listening in a device like this will be used no matter what setting you use. I remember Amazon being caught leaving their mics on and also Facebook sending conversations to 3rd parties for transcribing. And this is just a small fraction of the shit we know about.

    That was for government spying, not private.

    I thought private spied for government? Or government did it anyway

    It was just expanding what the federal government is allowed to do without a warrant, but you're right in that they were probably already doing it.
