  Thanks for the link. Checking the bottom of it …

  Not sure if its an unbiased paper or not (its a bit ‘sus’), and the date is from research done in 2017 and published in 2018. Today’s corporations most likely do not follow the same practices they did in 2017.

  in that same article is one from Vice, which backs up what I’ve been stating and assuming

  do I get to say “Vice? 2018? Yikes.” now?

  Yep, you sure do, especially since it comes from the article you supplied. The point being that showing proof from 2017 does not necessarily cover today’s situation. But it definatley defines that listening in on your phone used to happen back in 2018. Wish we had today’s “word” on the subject.

  feel free to link more up-to-date research results.

  Considering I was asking you originally, you shouldn’t expect one from me. I was asking you about your initial point, and would not have if I already had proof to back it up.
