    Of course this is possible. Is it practical? Nope. There is already so much data harvested by the likes you Google and Facebook that they can tell what you like, what videos or articles you read, what you share, in some cases who you talk to. Importing a shit ton of audio data is pointless, they already know what you like.

        you just need to process the audio on the devices and then send keywords to Google etc. it’s technically trivial since most phones already have dedicated hardware for that. your phone listens to activation words all the time, unless you disable it. there is no reason why they can’t also forward anything else it hears as text

            I would assume that you are right, considering how much gargage you collect if listening.

            Now imagine recording those who have not given consent, or the device saving full scripts of movies.
