Got a source on that? I love that this rumor goes around every few months and nicely reminds me which communities are full of terrible media literacy.

What do you think of the discussion here? Do you still believe the sensational headline?

(Also way to prove my point)

the active listening article is very vague and apart from fantasizing about 24/7 surveillance everywhere for everyone it doesn't say a whole lot directly, so in my mind it's best to assume the worst case scenario

In other words you choose to believe what you want to believe and don’t care about facts. Neat.

I'll gladly believe something else if they claim something else, but their claims are very dystopian

@ayyy

I'll check out the link in a bit, probably haven't seen it though. Wouldn't be surprised if I was wrong. I'm not the brightest. If I was wrong, then thanks for correcting me, even if it was slightly jerkish.

I'll give an update when I can. Until later.
