"“Yes or no: Does Facebook use audio obtained from mobile devices to enrich personal information about its users?” Peters asked Zuckerberg at the time."

“No,” Zuckerberg replied." BALD FACED LIE

Google listens all the time. I was streaming Dan Bongino and the google “assistant” which i turn off. Kept popping up and the results showed “missing context” warnings about everything it listened to. Unfortunately I am stuck using these evil companies so there is no getting away from this other than by turning them off. I would pull the batteries but they are sealed up now.

If Zuckerburg were in my 6th grade class I would’ve loved to beat the crap out of him after school. He’s just that type of guy.

It would be interesting to see if he bleeds red, green, or something else.

“Meta has repeatedly decided that the platform is listening in on users’ private conversations, saying, “Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp do not listen in or use the cell phone microphone to influence advertising in any way.””

yeah, right ... supposed to be DENIED, not DECIDED ... obviously written by a complete moron OR AI and not checked by an editor ...

There are videos that show ads related to what is being said showing up as the poster talks. I have had this happened on the phone and on my computer.

“Wow! Really? Ten years ago?”

At that time he was a team leader on his school’s Math Olympics team.

He will be graduated next week with a double engineering degree, in 4 years, B$. His Dad took 5 years.

He will go to work for the same company, he has worked for since the Covid stuff.

Like his older sister, he helped the home room 7th grade teacher to present the new math.

He got straight A’s in math and his science classes at a top
private school.

“None of our appliances are connected to the\Internet........................ I think..................🤔”

Our new LG dishwasher, relatively new LG washing machine and LG dryer are not attached directly connected to the internet.

However, if we are having problems with any or all 3, the 3 of them can connect directly to the internet.

“Not all of the TVs have them. It would typically be in the frame, like they are in laptops.”

Our basic tv is 10+ years old and doesn’t the camera built in, that we know of. It does have ears to listen.

My new chromebook has it built in in the middle of the top frame.

Even if the deivce in question does not have or is not allowed to connect to an internet connection, you could still have a problem courtesy of Amazon Sidewalk:

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/05/amazon-devices-will-soon-automatically-share-your-internet-with-neighbors/

According to Wikipedia:

“In March 2023, Amazon opened the network up for outside developers to access, providing free test kits for developers to build Sidewalk devices. Amazon stated that more than 90% of the U.S. population was covered by the Sidewalk network.”
