Sure, bring in a device that listens to everything you say, stores it on a server with unknown access and unknown security, then they “say” they anonymize the data and sell it to their partners. Funny thing though, you get ads for items you not only bought but also researched. The internet and the tech companies are full of friendly, helpful people who only have you best interest in mind. What could go wrong?

The problem is not big data analyzing what you say – the problem is surreptitious listening by bored employees!!!
