“What would it mean for your business if you could target potential clients who are actively discussing their need for your services in their day-to-day conversations? No, it's not a Black Mirror episode—it's Voice Data, and CMG has the capabilities to use it to your business advantage.”
And yet thousands of security researchers can’t find a shed of evidence. This shit is tiresome and counter productive. The general public is weary of hearing this made up bullshit.
The technical practice isn’t hard. That’s the claim. The reality is nobody is buying shit doing this and this is just another repost from the same 404 article months ago.
Bro, I’ll literally be having a conversation with someone about a topic, and all of the sudden Google starts recommending me products related to the discussion afterwards. Smart phones and smart speakers without a doubt listen in on our conversations. There’s the evidence.
Eh, surprised that’s happening to someone in this community. Strip Google off your phone and throw out any hardware with a microphone that doesn’t run open source software and this will stop happening.

The advertisement literally tells you that they’re doing it… The fuck are talking about it’s made up? (https://www.cmglocalsolutions.com/blog/active-listening-an-overview as an example)
Dec 14, 2023 (https://www.404media.co/cmg-cox-media-actually-listening-to-phones-smartspeakers-for-ads-marketing/) is months ago? Shit man… What the fuck are you high on?
I still wouldn’t believe it. Even the 404 article does not confirm anything and the ad company does not provide any details.
This whole thing feels like marketing, claiming something outrageous to get people talking about your company.
That’s entirely possible. But they did say it themselves on their own site. Look at the link I’ve posted in response to the other guy.
Even if they’re just joking about it they deserve all the negative press they’ll get.

That’s not evidence. That’s some random anecdote. Back it up or gtfo.

Find a literal shred of evidence. You have no clue how ads work bruh.
