Well, no, not exactly.
The ring is an always-on camera. My phone is not that. My phone may leak some information about me, and its basic job (cell phone) provides a record of location data, but that's not the same thing as forcibly making a home security device into part of a police state panopticon.
- CursedUrn 4y agoAre you sure your phone microphone isn't always on? At the very least your voice assistant is listening all the time to detect the trigger word (does this send the voice to the cloud for AI assisted detection?). Also if you search for articles about Ultrasonic Beacons, they imply adware tech is listening all the time too.
- SoftTalker 4y agoI disabled voice assistant and trigger word on my android. I hate talking to machines.
- Handytinge 4y agoIt's wild to me you think someone using the phrase "police state panopticon" would have an always on voice assistant enabled.
- ubermonkey 4y agoI am, in part because I don't use the trigger word functionality.
