I think they most likely don't believe it's actually happening and don't understand the ramifications.
Their attitude is, if I'm doing nothing wrong, what is there to hide? Literally. I've asked them this to their face.
But then I tell them, what if I'm the one who is listening to you through their phone?
That's when they don't like it. They can't see a person when they hear 'government is listening to you'. They don't know anyone that works in government, and can't personify it.
But once you do that, then they care.
That’s creepy awesome.
I have a really hard time explaining the bandaids on every device... Closest I can get is: vanity.
I don’t want to get dressed for an Instagram pic just to scroll on my phone.
If they don't care if anyone is listening then they shouldn't bitch when their oh so convenient Alexa gadget hears something it doesn't like and calls police to their residence. We all know this is coming. You do have a good point, though.
