I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone (simonwillison.net)

Not my title! I do think we are being listened to. And location tracked. And it's being passed on to advertisers. Is it apple though? Probably not is my take away from this article, but I don't trust plenty of others, and apple still does

That's kind of the important question... We know it sends audio on request, if you trigger it somehow. But does it transmit anything clandestinely in the background? And does it suppress any microphone icons from showing up? I believe that's where disassembly and sniffing network traffic come into play.
