This seems like a personal choice, and perhaps you can try to keep an open mind.
Also consider the use case of your parents being alone and falling down and not being able to get up. They can just say 'ok Google, call ocdtrekkie' (if they have setup the device fully with contacts etc.).

- mehrdadn 6y agoI can't speak to the merits of the family relations, but telling people to "keep an open mind" to continuous monitoring is quite the ask. The right to privacy isn't some kind of pizza topping to be "open-minded" about just because some company happens to make a product that violates the norm. (And to be clear, my statement isn't isn't Google-specific in any way.)

Also, traditionally, hosts go out of their way to help their guests feel welcome, not the other way around. > People should be free to share (or not share) their personal information any way they please. "Privacy" is about so much more than "personal information". Heck, it is irrelevant whether the conversation contains "personal information". It is also very clearly not only the hosts who are affected here. > Is being "open-minded" about other people's choices in this regard so much to ask? It can be when that implies collateral damage on your side.
