I hope they give people the option to enable or disable specific features.

Oh, so the government spy device did its job.

Big Brother is always listening

I trained to do transcription for a competing service, and y'all, if you have the voice-activated features on, Siri, Alexa, and Cortana are ALWAYS LISTENING TO YOU. Transcriptionists are required to transcribe every word the devices hear. If you don't want audio and written records of any conversation you have near your phone or hub-thing potentially sitting on a corporate server somewhere, turn. voice activation. off.

This makes me so glad I've never set up Google Assistant. No thanks, creeper app!

Which competing service?

If people where actually worried and cared about this kind of stuff they wouldn't carry around smartphones which are basically small powerful computers with microphones and cameras attached to them. Below is a video that illustrates how easy it can be to get access to a device in order to spy on someone.

Which competing service?

I signed an NDA, so I'm not going to say which one.
