I don’t really trust them more than I can throw them, however I’m inclined to believe in this case given the practicality of it. Capturing and parsing all that audio is expensive and would be low signal to noise. Additionally, many of these companies are sitting on data that is significantly more valuable and relevant.

So purely from a selfish business perspective, which is how I assume they make decisions, why would they implement this? And that is to say nothing of the PR risks.

What do you have leading you to believe it’s happening?

Or are you simply saying we should not implicitly trust the anon commenter? If so, I agree fully.
