People just rolled their eyes when I told them this was technologically-feasible - perhaps even with the battery out
Very few believed me.

Ping!.................
If you still use a smartphone, it’s probably smarter than you.
“Hey phone, FJB!”
My toaster is spying on me....
I think it’s paranoid...............
Phone? What phone? No cell phone for me! Hate the dang things. Hopefully,i can get through my rmeain8ng years without one, but the chances of that are dwindling as more and more places require a cell phone to do business with.
Always throw in a few keywords in your phone conversations to alert NSA/AT&T/whoever to listen in.
bkmk
Throw in a few ‘Heil Hitlers’ and you will get their attention..........
I’m sure they are entertained by my conversations with my 94 year old mom who has rather severe dementia.
You joke, but my wife’s phone starts making noises in the morning only when it hears me start moving around the house. ;-)
My toaster (oven) doesn’t need a Linux operating system to work. When it has to have one, I’ll want something else.
I don’t have Alexa in my house for obvious reasons, either.
These systems have formalized the theft of data that can be stolen from you. A function of what used to be “hacking” is now a part of the OS.
Just my experience and opinion…
The little details lefty DM fails to focus upon:
404 Media knew about this back in 2023.
MindSift claims the following:
“50+ Happy Customers / 470+ Data Sources / 40M+ Leads Provided”
https://www.mindsift.com/about
So, then, DumbassMail: Who ARE the “50+ Happy Customers???”
No, they don’t care about that.
Maybe “free market”, “representative democracy”, “freedom of speech”, “lower taxes” and other insurrectionist ideas.
And Camera... But they have been doing it for many years now. Not just phones but your computer also. I found Google doing this at youtube many years ago. I had just started using Firefox as a browser and went to youtube. Firefox gave me a request message:
“Youtube is requesting access to your Camera and Microphone, allow? disallow?”
And I was NOT logged in... I only landed there.
Yes it does. We have done experiments. We now use Faraday bags and leave them near noise when we want privacy. Turning them off does not stop them from analyzing conversation or location.
“The pitch deck goes on to tout Facebook, Google and Amazon as clients of CMG, suggesting they could be using its Active-Listening service to target users.”
And Facebook, Google and Amazon sell it all to the government.
“These systems have formalized the theft of data that can be stolen from you. A function of what used to be “hacking” is now a part of the OS.”

Its a grotesque violation of our right to privacy.
Congress should do something to stop it, but they never will.
A couple days later I got an email from the local hospital that was holding a seminar for us older folks. The topic was basically "How To Fit Your Vehicle", and its aim was to help us purchase a vehicle that cooperated with our mobility issues.
It was probably just random chance, but a bit eerie just the same.
