I personally do, he actually risked his life to release information about the government spying on people. And there are for sure more advanced ways now. Even your phone is listening.

    Thank you for giving me more background here! I was vaguely aware of this feature but believe I disabled it earlier on (along with other unused features and app permissions en masse) so the surprise app was a shock. I’m tech-aware but not savvy at this point so I just risk mitigate where I can.

    I don’t have experience with Shazam or similar for context, so do most apps like this utilize snippet hashes on device? (headed to wiki but thought I’d ask)

      Shazam is likely a bit more complicated and accurate since you’re sending data to an online service and you actively check a song at any time.
