An anonymous current company insider and whistleblower told The Guardian: “There have been countless instances of recordings featuring private discussions between doctors and patients, business deals, seemingly criminal dealings, sexual encounters and so on. These recordings are accompanied by user data showing location, contact details, and app data.”
These types of stories were once frightening.. now they are just so commonplace that no one seems to even flinch..
There may not be a reason to be surprised at this information..
Back in 2013 we reported that Apple was keeping everything it heard on file for 2 years (at least)..
In 2016 we reported that Google was recording everything it heard..
There are even reports at the genesis of Gmail that the system was listening to your words.. for ADS.. for revenue. Goodbye privacy.
