There is a difference between deliberately typing those sorts of queries into a search field on a website, and a remotely-administered audio bug capturing every random bit of conversation within earshot.
- RugnirViking 7y agoa website quite literally is a remotely administered user input gatherer. I understand the concern about open microphones, but we've had this conversation about everything from laptop microphones to smart TVs before. I don't see how something like a new device changes the equation much compared to those things.
- kermitismyhero 7y agoYou and I and many others on internet forums may have had that conversation, but most non-geeks in my social circles haven't. Deliberately fucking with their voice assistants is a great way to quickly get them thinking hard about the issue with a minimum of conversation. It's past time to appeal to logic. It's now time to go straight for the emotional jugular by inducing some panic.
