        How is this legal? It is clearly in contradiction to european laws. Why dont they just listen in america (or other countries where it is legal), they know where the phone is. This is literally criminal activity, if they are knowingly breaking laws in particular countries. How is "i am sorry" a solution to this? Law doesnt work like that.

This problems come from google home or whatever, that crapp that is also installed in Android devices. crazy that people still believe they can talk to a connected device, without consequences...

It's not like some authority regularly checks their systems what they are really doing behind the scenes. From my perspective, all these controls only control what you see, not what they see...

              Google... Amazon... Facebook... it is not enough for Chinese and American companies to follow their own people... Let other countries alone and respect privacy.
              Otherwise would be good to get private conversations of all these American and Chinese CEOs and see their reaction. Don't think they would be happy.

                Heh, I already deleted and turned off all the activity controls on all my Google accounts. I don't really trust them anymore.
