Comment on Cox deletes ‘Active Listening’ ad pitch after boasting that it eavesdrops though our phones
dan_linder@lemmy.world 9 months agoMy take is two fold: 1- Marketing over selling their product (common practice) 2- The “always listening” devices are mainly their Smart Remotes that have a microphone built in.
#2 Seems the most likely as is a device fully in their control and can pull as much ad marketing / information gathering details from it as they want.
