Just talking is enough to activate the recordings
...
Google could have a record of everything you have said around it for years, and you can listen to it yourself.

The company quietly records many of the conversations that people have around its products.
...
it is now probably full of various things you have said, which you thought might have been in private.

I knew it, I knew it, and so does Cortana.

don't worry, it's perfectly safe, it will never leak out, they won't share it with various governments, etc etc

and that camera on your phone? nope, they would never just start recording from that like they do from the microphone, would they?

I keep a card folded over the camera on my laptop.

Yeah, but the microphone can still hear you grunting.

LOL!

I suppose I should warn CIC to stop using voice searches for cat food and anal lube.

So, the government and google have millions upon millions of recordings of "fwap, fwap, fwap, fwap, OHHHHHHHH, Gawd!"

Maybe if they record "fwap,fwap etc. Allahu Akbar UNNNNNN!", it sounds an alert.

No one should blaspheme the technology gods because the surrender of all privacy is what faithful voters intend.

Does the side facing the camera say "Fuck You"?
