Yes, not cool. Nobody has to listen, with the voice recognition either. If someone wants to start a large scan activity, it can be automated to scan your conversations.
I said this here before, when reading 1984, I always thought it'd be tough for a government to install the technology needed for big brother. Now we are self-installing these and even paying for it ourselves. Plus, nobody has to sit there and listen in on the other end. It can all be automated.
I bought the tap. It may still be hacked, but at least in normal mode you have to hit a button before you speak, so it isn't constantly scanning the room
