According to 404 Media (via Gizmodo) marketing team under Cox Media Group (CMG) is claiming that "your devices are listening to you" and collecting relevant data to sell to advertisers. While this sounds like a terrifying invasion of privacy, you can rest easy knowing that it's not true.
CMG makes this "Active Listening" feature sound glamorous to potential clients, asserting that they can collect voice data clips like "The car lease ends in a month- we need a plan" or "Do I see mold on the ceiling?" In reality, CMG's claims that your devices are recording voice data are baseless, and the company has since redirected the website page containing these dubious claims.
