Looking in the settings, I see there is something called TalkBack:
```
When Talkback is on, it provides spoken feedback so that you can use your device without looking at the screen. Talkback is intended for situations or people who have difficulty seeing the screen.
```
Imagine you are walking down the street talking to someone either on your phone or in person. Facial and voice recognition are very advanced these days.
And where’s the privacy in that? I’m walking down a public street in the largest city in America talking out loud. There’s nothing private about that situation.
Perhaps a couple strangers would hear a few words but don't know who you are. If police or other state agency are pervasively watching, listening, and recording, I think you would agree that is quite a different situation.
Sure but there are not enough cops to follow and record everybody on the street all day. Any number of cops following and recording random people would cause some alarm. One computer can do the job of a million cops and be imperceptible.
I didn't find any analysis here of what these companies are doing with all this location data they are collecting. The consumer gets some detail of single devices which they can see on a screen, but the mother ship is collecting a ton of detailed location data from every device that they can run through their advanced computing to refine into predictive products or advertising. This is the bigger story to me.
