    Cox Media Group got kicked off Google’s ad partner program a few years ago when 404 Media scooped that they had a feature called CMG Active Listening which did exactly this.

The western world is run by a cult of pedophiles, the fact that our phones listen in on us without our consent is not a stretch.
