Like, we all know they're listening , but can we provide proof?

My friend was complaining about all the new super surveillance that will be government required in cars after 2027, and I said to him dude you have a stock android, you use every AI slop feature, you use a smart TV on your unsecured network, and uses x every day. They have everything they could possibly need on him. Oh and he posts questionable things to fb daily under his real name.

Don't know about Apple. My impression is that they take privacy pretty serious.

They do not, but they are excellent at convincing people that they do. They put on a hell of a show and say the right things and publicly advertise their marketing kill switch, but under the hood they're doing all the same things themselves generally.

Not to say they're not better than others, because the bar is waaaaay down there.
