Neither of those articles has any evidence of them secretly listening through everybody's microphone

Stories of these companies listening through everybody's mics are like modern day ghost stories. It definitely totally happens every single day but nobody ever manages to get a piece of hard evidence. Maybe the algorithms can sense wireshark like ghosts sense cameras

I beeped a guy when on holiday in USA once, after a truck didn't set off for a few seconds. The guy stuck a middle finger out of his window and floored it with a great wheel spin.

Not sure if I broke the rule by beeping too early, or the American rule is that you always flip off the guy behind you.
