What exactly is misleading? Sure they claim they weren't doing it intentionally [1], but it doesn't change the fact that there were instances of Google listening when the user hadn't said the phrase. Presumably the agency doesn't find that an adequate excuse.
[1] The sentence right after where you stopped quoting at:
>This means that there was some noise or words in the background that our software interpreted to be the hotword (like “Ok Google”).
- la_barba 7y agoI have no love for Google (nor should anyone.. :) ), but I agree with the parent that it was a bit misleading because the implication from that statement is that google just turns on the mic and records everything.
