It's always been a conspiracy theory that your Xbox is listening to you and guess what it's true: https://t.co/KLRGmx0590

Saying the word "Xbox" anywhere near the Xbox triggered the console to record. These recordings were sent to humans somewhere who listened to them. Multiple contractors we spoke to confirmed consoles were regularly accidentally triggered

Both a current and former Microsoft contractor said they heard audio related to Xbox that had apparently been triggered accidentally (although the amount did decrease as the system improved) https://t.co/Xc9UUwsPW1 pic.twitter.com/HbktrHs2Dp

The recordings were supposed to be only to improve voice command features but were sometimes triggered by mistake, former contractors revealed. https://t.co/nC9FzDyjrd
The audio was supposed to be captured following a voice command like "Xbox" or "Hey Cortana."

Sending users' private voice clips to low-wage contractors for repetitive tasks is both ethically dubious and technically problematic. Once the data leaves company servers, there's no way to prevent further leaks. https://t.co/290gNOQHPw

Is your smart device eavesdropping on you? "It’s not enough to just dump the audio into a machine. Human contractors must be paid to recognize what machines cannot," writes @sarahjeong. https://t.co/aE0z8HEFzs

"Unfortunately, my insistence that Facebook is not listening to you is, predictably, undermined by Facebook, which sometimes is secretly listening to you," writes @sarahjeong https://t.co/wLy0MaBZFl

People often ask us: "Is Facebook listening in on me?" But in fact, the fight for #privacy is centered on a much bigger question: "Your devices gather so much data about you [that they can] predict what you’re saying without even actually listening in."https://t.co/KNQrONpPA8

Isn't Microsoft legally obligated to inform Xbox users they listened to Captured Audio of some of them in their private residences without them knowing? Talk about invasion of privacy and possible lawsuits coming....yikes and very scary. https://t.co/MjpWCvcyXn
