I believe there's either a trigger somewhere in Amazon's or Google's PR to post the classic 'but what about ur phone' whenever someone is pushing back against IOT recording devices or we've become so brainwashed that we do their job without even realizing it. I don't know which of the two is sadder.


What's the difference between a Google Home and a Pixel phone sitting side-by-side on the table, which one is the bigger threat to my privacy? What about when I leave the home and take my GPS-capable phone and leave the Google Home on that table? Which is a bigger threat now?


I have no idea. I refuse to use Android phones.
