I don't think Google home listens in.
Because I'd absolutely be disappeared by now if it did.
Everything you say to your Echo...
I don't have an Echo.
What is Alexa. Lol
It’s not mine but I frequently tell the one in house our to “fuck off”?
Maybe I misread the actual text, but it sounds like the exact opposite, that it's going to auto-delete what you say.

be aware, everything you say around amazon, apple, alphabet, meta, and any other corporate trash products are being sold, trained on, and sent to your local alphabet agency. it's been this way for a while, but this is a nice reminder to know when to speak and when to listen
Wow there are way fewer "so what it's the same as your smartphone" and "everyone does it, google, apple, it's no big deal" comments on Lemmy.
