Owners reported unexpected recordings of private conversations, but Meta hasn’t explained what went wrong or what happened to the audio.

Theyre always listening. The thing that gets loat in conversation is essentially how much of it is being stored, if its being sent back and the security of the stored data.

Its part of the reason why Apple goes out of its way to try to explain how it wants to handle "Apple Intelligence" in a data safe manner so that it doesnt break any security regulations.

The problem meta has in its hands is they got caught recording entire parts of conversations, rather than have some like 1 second buffer listening to a keyword that gets constantly overwritten, to then activate recording the rest of the coversation.
