    What types of data does the US sell to advertisers? Do you have ANY evidence of the always listening mic? You’d figure after 10 years of this we’d have at least some evidence, right?

      I don’t know if the USA currently sells data. It appears to be illegal but the current administration doesn’t always play by the rules.

      Have you ever used a phrase activated voice assistant (hey Google, Alexa, Siri). They are always listening in case you use the phrase. Amazon and Google both admit they record and stores voice data. Google sells ads based on search history.

      Types you haven’t even thought of. Every type of data is sold, and then derivatives of data are sold. Directly collected data, inferred data, guesses, it’s all packaged up.
