While I’m dubious of the claim due to the robust permissions management in the latest versions of iOS and Android, it is interesting that a company has come out and said they are doing what everyone is thinking.

And yes they are a subsidiary of the parent of Cox Communications, the ISP, so I would be switching to a competitor ASAP if I had their services

    Yeah, Amazon laying off a lot of folks in their Alexa division makes me skeptical this is real and is scalable.

      Amazon failed with Alexa because they couldn’t monetize it enough to make it profitable. If you’re using it to spy and sell data, there’s your profit.
