I called this bullshit out 3 years ago. Looks like I was right. "At the time, there were significant doubts this was actually happening, and the FTC complaints back this up. This service did not, in fact, listen in on consumers' conversations." Smartphone mics are NOT always-on listening for ad targeting. It's just not happening. If companies bypassed iOS or Android protections, it would be a huge deal and patched immediately. https://www.theverge.com/policy/937027/cox-media-marketing-ai-powered-phone-spying-ads-ftc-fine #adtech #surveillance #infosec #privacy
