How Marketing Agencies Use Your Voice Data

⚠️🗣 Confirmed - How Marketing Companies use your ''Voice data''🗣⚠️

Media giants, Cox Media Group now claim that it actually is listening to your phone and smart speakers to target ads.

…..We're sure many of you suspected this anyway.

They listen to ambient conversations of consumers through embedded microphones in smartphones, Smart TVs and other devices to gather data, target ads and identify potential customers based on conversations in real time.

This Source article says it best, this is Black Mirror in real life.

❓How is this Done❓

It's fairly simple really.

Most smart devices are 'always on' and contain a microphone to listen for commands. The only thing they need is our permission to to do so which we give freely when we install an app, buy a model of phone, buy an Alexa or Nest or click 'accept' on those annoying cookie pop-ups.

''Hey Alexa''

''Okay Google''

How did your home assistant know you said those words?! It was already listening.

The audio is streamed to their servers and processed there before they start sending targeted ads your way based on your most recent conversations, no matter how personal.

📱Degoogled Devices Do Not Have This Surveilance📱

The first step is always to ditch such 'smart' devices situated in your home. Then start replacing them with private alternatives. Degoogled phones and Linux Laptops are a great start.

👉 They contain no code which listens ambiently to your conversations

👉 No app does anything that you havn't explicitly asked it to do

👉 Voice data is not streamed from your phone to Big Tech servers

👉 They are ad-free and will always be a bastion of privacy for you
