What exactly is the privacy issue with detecting when a process begins using the microphone?
- bayindirh 1y agoFollowing my habits, and reporting to a data broker that how I use my microphone, allowing even more precise profiling of my life circumstances or habits.
- jitl 1y agoWe don’t report your habits to any data broker. This information use used purely for local UI.
- mbreese 1y agoYet... you don't report habits to a data broker yet. It is currently used for local UI. Once you already are in the habit of evading user-privacy, it's a only a couple of down quarters before you start tracking and sending data to data brokers or someone else. This is why no one here likes this behavior.

- bayindirh 1y agoSorry if it came through like that. I didn't mean to say Notion shares personal data to broker(s). I just wanted to highlight where it can go. Please don't forget: Road to hell is paved with good intentions. Making features which can eavesdrop on users opt-in can go very wrong, very fast. I understand the need to make it "feel like magic", but that line is very thin. Last note, please when you move something around (e.g. Calculate button from bottom of the database columns to header menu), please let users know. It really feels bad when you use something too much just disappears. BTW, I'm a Notion subscriber as you can say :)
