I don't know there is something inherently not trustworthy about Google or American company. I think the main problem with Google (and perhaps part of the reason why Google is great in the first place) is that Google relies too heavily

OP's argument would be that bathrooms, changing rooms, hotel rooms are examples of places with expectation of privacy. And if you are walking in the middle of a mall with lots of people around you, that would be an example where there

One thing I haven't seen discussed is the poor affordance / discoverability of speech technology. Google Home can do some clever things however, it also does not have the ability to do some very basic stuff. As a user, how do you
