    True but there ways to make that a lot harder. Samsung phones have a chip under the battery sticker that tracks without the phone being on. I take that off.
    Certain apps I won't have on my phone like Snapchat or fb.
    It's a privacy thing for me. More than a security thing.

    Or just don't have a purpose built recording device in your home.

    I don't use social media at all but I'm happy to have these devices in my home.

    Yeah that's fair enough luv its a personal choice..
    Data gathering is a massive business, fb/Google(skynet) have enough money without making more off what I say in the privacy of my own home.

    But then he'd have to get up and press the light switch when he wants to turn the lights off :emoticon-0114-dull:

    I personally think the day I turn the key in the lock and step into a Google Home, is the day I set fire to it for insurance purposes, **** off to the Australian outback, and live in a tree eating barbecued snake.

    Each to their own though.

    I can just imagine the scenes at MI6, as they record you bickering with the missus over whether to watch Love Island or Strictly.

    Yeah I imagine all the recording is just marketing anyway and they get that everytime you go to a website.

    Good point. Facial recognition then.


    Can’t get in cos you’ve grown a beard and put a bit of weight on, whilst on holiday.

    I don’t like it either. Not because I’m worried about getting my door kicked in at 5.00 am for discussing how best to hit Boris Johnson with a milkshake - more because I don’t want corporate capitalism invading every aspect of my life in a bid to sell me **** I don’t want or need.
