Do you really believe that having an always on Internet uploading microphone in your private domicile is equivalent to using a grocery loyalty card? Also phone carriers have well established restrictions on lawful intercepts.

- User23 8y agoNo doubt phone can be compromised, but listening to everything one says isn't its designed purpose. It's the intended use of the "smart" microphone that's fundamentally untrustworthy. Even if everything works exactly as intended, recordings are available on the owning company's servers and they are subject to discovery, lawful or otherwise.
