Yes. Phones not snooping 24/7 with a microphone is better than phones snooping 24/7 with a microphone. What kind of question is this? If you get people used to the idea that phones are always recording, people won’t be as offended when these dickhead companies actually start doing it.
Google listens in to recognize what music playing (default on Google Pixels) this can’t be done locally without a huge database so in way or another Google is sending processed microphone data to their servers. There’s no way they can resist getting their grubby mits on that ad data…
The database of fingerprints is actually quite small and stored locally. You could have looked this up in less time than it took you to spout bullshit.
I counted this out based on the number of obscure songs I had seen, making me think it would have to be gigabytes of names alone. This still doesn’t stop Google from sending this to their servers as long as it has network permissions.
Who the fuck said anything about fingerprints, literal or figurative. There’s absolutely no way that a database of every song ever recorded is stored on an Android phone. Wake up.
That’s not how that works. Stop spreading this nonsense.
Google, Amazon and Facebook aren’t dogs that sniff you through your phone? Stop spreading this nonsense.
That’s not what the meme says. It’s accusing the apps of having live microphone access to your phone at all times.
Oh, then I guess I was the one taking a meme literally.
We don’t care about your stock price, or your dividends.
Is it any better that their profiling is so accurate they can “appear like doing this” by just knowing what devices spend time near us?

I thought it was a joke

Good thing Pixel’s have a built in database of “fingerprints” of popular songs for local processing.

It literally is.
