Looks like Google & Amazon are doing it too under the justification of enhancing voice recognition.

 

Amazon is filing a patent to do away with the "wake word" that triggers the recording. They are also storing the transcribed recordings indefinitely unless you manually  delete them ?  I suppose friendly Alexa announces this requirement?

 

It is time consumers wake up to these deceitful practices and vote with their wallets to keep them under control
