Voice Profiling

People use voice profiling and recording to spy on each other.

Shit like this is why I refuse to be recorded.  And that means there are things I can't get, especially services.  Remember, it's not consent if there are consequences to either choice.

Also bear in mind that when a society routinely pressures or forces people to do things they don't want, or abuses them for making choices that annoy those in power, you wind up with a really rape-friendly nation like America.  >_<

I have explained this concept to an older relative.

Specifically the pervasive idea that /of course/ you want too...[be member,
buy this, download this, keep your account forever]...you just need convincing.

Speaking of, we need more ways to cancel online accounts - for when people die, if nothing else.

*sigh*

I worked retail in the late '70s and early '80s. I guess it's just not enough to be knowledgeable about your products and nice to people anymore. Especially since for the most part you don't have sales people anymore and everything's online. So now everyone has to take happy pills and smile and put on a happy face?

There's a reason why I don't want devices listening to me and responding to my voice in my house.
