    To hear you say “Hey Google” it has to listen to everything you say, all the time. While they pinky-promise they aren’t doing anything with all the voice data they’re getting while listening, do you trust them?

        studies were done and found similar to what you’re saying.

        also the secret listening does not comport with any of the business side of profile marketing, either. So it would have to be an incredibly well kept secret on top of all of that.

      Good point, but given that I don’t say anything in my bed room (I live alone, and I don’t date), I wish it good luck hearing anything.
