duh, unless you 'ask' them by pressing a button they have to be continuously listening to hear the 'hey zuckbot' or whatever phrase they use.

The whole 'hey siri/hey google/hey online bookshop/etc' voice activation thing needs to go. If you want to put it in your own house with a 'smart' speaker, that's your choice but it shouldn't be on phones/tablets/glasses/etc where it can be used to eavesdrop.

    To have any voice command it has to listen all the time. Unless voice commands are enabled with a physical switch.

    Its just crazy that there are still people that don't realize this is exactly what's going to happen when you use this stuff from these sorry corporations, google, amazon, meta, microsoft, etc etc. Stop using this shit!

    Boo fucking hoo, whoever buys these absolutely deserves every invasion of their own privacy for the harm they cause to the privacy of others.

    "You'll no longer be able to tell we are listening all the time. We still are, you just won't get any indication."
