the makers of these things always say that, but I guarantee that long winded explanation is bullshit. Maybe there's even hardware in there that does those things, but even so, they're always listening, recording and submitting everything you say to their maker. Primarily for targeted ads and targeted content of other sorts...but also to snitch on you if the cops accuse you of something.
