    Google listens in to recognize what music playing (default on Google Pixels) this can’t be done locally without a huge database so in way or another Google is sending processed microphone data to their servers. There’s no way they can resist getting their grubby mits on that ad data…

      The database of fingerprints is actually quite small and stored locally. You could have looked this up in less time than it took you to spout bullshit.

        I counted this out based on the number of obscure songs I had seen, making me think it would have to be gigabytes of names alone. This still doesn’t stop Google from sending this to their servers as long as it has network permissions.

        Who the fuck said anything about fingerprints, literal or figurative. There’s absolutely no way that a database of every song ever recorded is stored on an Android phone. Wake up.

          It literally is.

      Good thing Pixel’s have a built in database of “fingerprints” of popular songs for local processing.

        I did not know this, it seemed way too good for that, I might have to retract some previous statements. Though I also don’t know how to verify that it doesn’t use the network as I don’t think it is available outside the default android that comes preinstalled.
