    Did you read the article? No, you did not.

    According to the company this is all from regular 3rd party stuff. Being legal or not is beside the point when you are not actually doing something.

    You’re argument is based on what a marketing company put in their marketing.

    Read the article, with clarifications from the company

    ETA : if this were true I would either see it in my firewall logs, or it would blow through my data cap in a week. Surveillance capitalism is bullshit, this is just a grift.

      Seems funny how you keep saying from the company as if somehow asking s murderer with red bloody hands if they did it is somehow a creditable source

      But your response is

      with clarifications from the company

      So what the company says isn’t good enough… Except when it’s in your favor? You realize that both statement are “from the company”.

        Fight as long as you want, when they were called out on it they backed off. The technical aspects of this are not trivial, nor is the amount of data needed as anyone who has had an Alexa or similar spyware in their house will tell you.

        Like I said

        if this were true I would either see it in my firewall logs, or it would blow through my data cap in a week.

          Audio is literally trivial amounts of bandwidth. You wouldn’t notice it at all. Using something like Opus, you could stream audio 24/7 and reach about 300MBs uploaded. Now do some basic trimming/word processing… That number can easily be less than 10MB a day.
