I was a huge Google Fan but this is becoming lunacy.
I understood trading some data and privacy for great search results, maps and free quality email.
But people willingly bringing always on listening devices in to their homes (beyond what smartphones are already capable of) I just can't comprehend it.
Why would people voluntarily do this in exchange for being able to ask for weather, play a playlist, add a todo and a few other parlor tricks.
I guess I value my privacy more than others and don't like the idea of entities compiling a record of my data that they can sell and market.
Imagine how some governments could use this data to limit freedoms, crack down on their opposition.
And what about the first data breech that includes transcripts or even audio of all your household conversations/activities over the past three years matched up to your email or even address?
It just sounds like we are heading down the wrong road.
