How is this realistic? Don't buy a cell phone? Don't buy a computer with built in microphone?
- rocky1138 10y agoA computer with a microphone and a cell phone both have the social contract of only "on demand" recording, as in, the user directly turns on the microphone and is aware that the recording is happening. A trojan horse like Alexa and Google's device sneakily reverses this contract to the benefit of the corporation/government. People still feel the listening devices are "on demand" but in fact are being listened to all the time. Education is really the only way I can see that any of us at the ground level can effect any change, here.
