No longer a conspiracy theory
Apple Siri is listening to you even when not promoted
“Apple has agreed to pay nearly $100 million to settle a lawsuit accusing the company of using Siri to eavesdrop on people using the iPhone and other devices. It claims the recordings happened even when people didn't use the trigger words, hey Siri. Some of the conversations were then shared with advertisers.”
“Apple isn't admitting any wrongdoing in the settlement”

$100m ffs
exactly this data was probably sold for billions
any mobile with ai onboard should be avoided by a reasonable bitcoiner or used with precautions assuming every keystroke is noted and pushed into the cloud
business orientated people as well as investigating journalist and activists should be using pixels with graphenos, laptops with linux only, privacy demanding users should look into qubes-os.org
I hope one day we get useful phones with hardware kill switches for mic, data etc. so far unfortunately there are only linux based phones in that niche, which are barely usable 😩
Not a confirmation as this is just a settlement. No guilt admitted to or even evidence provided.
That said, use GrapheneOS.
…and Adobe needs access to screen recording so you can use the dropper tool on it. Cool story Adobe.
There are alternatives out there that you can customize how you want, plug in the AI you want, if you need that type of script kid. Yes requires more know-how than merely pressing a power-button.
and more..
Use of https://microg.org/ to "Emulate" Google Play Services and you can now also install any Google Play store App.
You can get things isolated and as privacy respecting as you need or wish.
