I agree with you, it's crazy people still believe this is happening. However the fact that they can collect so much data about you through other means that people believe they're spying on your directly is still pretty fuckin scary.

It is fucking happening. Why the fuck would you believe they aren't collating your conversations when you willingly allow it to listen to trigger words?

"Hey, Siri, don't record my shit... hur hur."

When are people going to get it through their heads corporations don't give two shits about you, at all. They don't care if you live or die. They only care about profit. Stop bending over for them.

I think you've misread the room. I'm not defending corporations at all actually, simply agreeing that the idea they literally actively spy on you through your phone is misinformation. Unless you have any real proof other than Siri existing and saying corporations are bad?
