It's not really but the thought of having my every word recorded and logged is not for me at all.

Not hearing all that "if you've nothing to hide" ****e neither. Everyone has something to hide.

But really it's the idea of being recorded and logged in my own gaff.
Nah, I'm good turning off my own lights ta

Theres about 30000 apps to cancel any recording.

In this world if they want to record you they will find a way.

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.

I agree but I want to phone Mrs luv and can't be bothered picking up my phone.

Turning it off is the best app

Phones, laptops etc all have built in microphones btw!

But then he'd have to get up and press the light switch when he wants to turn the lights off

The light app saves you money, plus it has some great ways to stop you getting burgled. Its not laziness as I still use the light switch. The voice stuff is a gimmick tbh, but surround lighting is cool when watching a film.

It's one of those things that people seem to hate if they haven't got it or tried it.

I personally think the benefits of having a Google Home far outweigh the negatives.

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.

Turning it off means nothing mate.
See my previous post about Samsung battery chips above.

Google home with a physical key.

Not likely

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

As funny as that is its entirely possible.

I don't like it.

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.

Edward Snowden only scratched the surface of mass surveillance.

Interesting film.

It's a horror movie mate. And true

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.
